Living Under Apartheid (eBook, ePUB)

Aspects of Urbanization and Social Change in South Africa
Redaktion: Smith, David M.

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Originally published in 1982, this book covers the unique spatial structure of society which was South Africa under apartheid. It brings together a cohesive set of research-based contributions to the understanding of this system which was without contemporary parallels. The book considers issues such as industrial location and migrant labour at a national scale. The case studies, which are fully illustrated, deal with problems associated with work and housing for blacks, set in the 3 major metropolitan areas of Cape Town, the Witwatersrand and Durban. Of particular importance is the emphasis given to so-called 'spontaneous' (or 'squatter') settlement and to informal-sector work for blacks in the emerging apartheid city - something which links directly with central issues of development studies.
