Product Description:
This study provides a window into the lives of ordinary South Africans more than ten years after the end of apartheid, with the promises of the democracy movement remaining largely unfulfilled. Catherine Besteman explores the emotional and personal aspects of the transition to black majority rule by homing in on intimate questions of love, family, and community and capturing the complex, sometimes contradictory voices of a wide variety of Capetonians. Her evaluation of the physical and psychic costs to individuals involved in working for social change is grounded in the experiences of the participants and illu-minates two overarching dimensions of life in Cape Town: the aggregate forces determined to maintain the apartheid-era status quo, and the grassroots efforts to effect social change. |

Nineteenth-century Cape Town was conventionally regarded as a liberal oasis in an otherwise racist South Africa, largely because of the mitigating influences of its more liberal English merchants. Bickford-Smith disagrees: far from being liberal, the English generally shared the racial attitudes of their Afrikaner counterparts. But theirs was a peculiarly English discourse of race, mobilized around a "Clean Party" obsessed with sanitation and the threat of diseases posed by incoming non-white workers in the final years of the century. This original contribution to South African urban history draws on comparative material from other colonial port towns and on relevant studies of the Victorian city. |
