Since the end of apartheid, many young Afrikaners have embraced a plural narrative and personal identity in place of the narrow, state-sanctioned nationalist identity that apartheid had fashioned for them. Young Afrikaner: A Self Portrait presents portraits of an urbanised, creative, engaged group of Afrikaners, challenging preconceived ideas about Afrikaner identity and values and how Afrikaners see themselves in the world.
