This week on Yeah Nah Pasaran! on 3CR we talk to Tyler West. Tyler is an historian who blogs at Notes South From Nowhere and is the co-author, with Dr Sebastian Potgieter, of ‘‘A bastion of white supremacy’: Southern Africa in the political imagination of New Zealand’s radical right’, which ‘unearths a long history of rightist solidarity in New Zealand with the cause of white rule in Southern Africa’ (see : Histories of Hate: The Radical Right in Aotearoa New Zealand (Otago University Press, 2023)). We spoke to Tyler about this history and some of its contemporary resonances.
