The book focuses on the political economy of apartheid, its transformation at the end of the 20th century and the difficult early decades of the early 21st century. Francis Wilson asserts that the realities of poverty, unemployment and inequality, which loomed large before, during and after legalised apartheid, are connecting threads throughout this historical epoch. The essays trace and expand on these trends in agriculture, mining (specifically gold mining), migrant labour, and the peculiar nature of urbanisation that has resulted in slums and squatter camps so prevalent in contemporary South Africa. The past six decades have been extraordinarily turbulent for a country not quite at war. These essays unpack some of the economic forces at play and their impact on the politics and social fabric of the majority of South Africans."-- $c Back cover. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 648 7 $a 1900-2099 $2 fast 650 0 $a Economics $x Political aspects $z South Africa. 650 0 $a Unemployment $z South Africa. 650 0 $a Equality $z South Africa. 650 7 $a Economic history $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901974 650 7 $a Economics $x Political aspects $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00902170 650 7 $a Equality $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00914456 650 7 $a Unemployment $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01161213 651 0 $a South Africa $x Economic conditions $y 20th century. 651 0 $a South Africa $x Economic conditions $y 21st century. 651 7 $a South Africa $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204616 700 1 $a Green, Pippa, $e writer of introduction. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240619012503.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A270EE0EFC8011EE9ABF7B513DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
