Abstract

Why coloured farm dwellers? This is a question with which sceptics often confront those of us who concern ourselves with agrarian problems in the Western Cape. The questions facing the new polity born at the end of April 1994 are momentous: the end of white political rule, the formation of a new state, the institutionalization of democracy, the reconstruction of the economy, the construction of a national identity. As the poorest, the most exploited, and the most marginal of South Africa’s black workers, farm dwellers might deserve our sympathy — but surely there are other, more pressing South African problems that demand our attention?KeywordsLabour RelationWhite SupremacySouth African SocietyFruit FarmRacial DominationThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
