Abstract

This article offers a response to Warren Goldstein’s analysis of the racialisation of the “Jewish Question.” By analysing the role of Scripture, Afrikaner nationalism and racial science in the production of apartheid, we argue that the insights shared by Goldstein as related to the “Jewish Question” sparks a fertile reflection on the “Coloured Question” in South Africa. While the outcomes differed, the correlations are to be found in the processes of othering that preceded and accompanied them. We explore the entangled nature of theology, biology, and politics in the racialisation, and subsequent othering, of the coloured category (where resonances with the Jewish example are to be found). By illustrating the similarities and differences between the “Jewish Question” and the “Coloured Question,” what is offered here is a piece to think with as the process of othering finds new targets in an increasingly polarised world.
