Living on edge in an ever-changing nation, some have retreated to the breakaway republic of Orania, where they work to construct a utopia for white Africans. Within the safety of their laager - a homeland with its own flag and currency - they can, once again, dictate the rules.
Weaving between past and present, Into the Laager traces the war for control of South Africa, its people and its history, through a series of December 16ths, beginning with the Battle of Blood River in 1838. In so doing, it takes us back to the origin of these fears: the years of nationalism and social engineering behind this modern struggle for identity and relevance.
Along the way, Norman asks the difficult questions - those that are as relevant to today's South Africa as they were in 1838: How do people react when they believe their cultural identity is under threat? How far are we prepared to go to survive as a people?
'Thick-skinned and fearless, Norman searches for the only thing worth seeking: that, which in the clearest and most unambiguous way describes a society in transition.' - Henning Mankell
