Azille Coetzee is a postdoctoral researcher at Stellenbosch University. She is the author of the non-fiction title In my vel: ’n reis (2019) and the novel Die teenoorgestelde is net so waar (2021).
In Desire at the end of the white line, Azille Coetzee examines a range of contemporary Afrikaans popular culture texts to demonstrate how the stories that white Afrikaans women tell about themselves keep them white and apart. She discusses her research with Lou-Marié Kruger.
