Abstract
In the same week that xenophobic attacks were launched against foreigners in Gauteng, Zulu ethnic nationalists burnt history textbooks in KwaZulu-Natal. Xenophobes were characterised as `the class of 1994. The link between nationalism, xenophobia and how we understand our history is a close one, says Linda Chisholm.-
