Abstract
Separate and unequal is the conclusion from this paper describing black children's childhood in South Africa. Using in‐country research observations and experience the authors explain the situation for black children in South Africa. Black women have a total fertility rate of 5.2 children. Black children have a high incidence of infant mortality and malnutrition. Black children must pay for tuition and books while white children's education is free. Schools are crowded and few opportunities exist for progressing beyond the primary grades. Job opportunities are few for black youth. Black families are forced to live in the homelands, resettlement areas, urban townships, or on white‐owned farms. Children are socialized from the beginning to know that they must defer to white people of any age.
