Description
This book is about Durban as a fascinating city. It provides a scholar's background to the situation brought about by the application of the Group Areas Act to Durban. It is the joint work of Professor Leo Kuper, Professor of Sociology at the University of Natal, Mr Hilstan Watts, and Mr Ronald Davies. No one is better fitted than Professor Kuper to guide such a study, for he combines the objectivity of the scholar with a warm-hearted feeling for the city and its people. The authors have given a careful description of the city as it is, racially and topographically, and have indicated the lines which the final proclamations will almost certainly follow. Even those who are strangers to Durban and South Africa will be able to grasp the drastic nature of the proposals, and to realize the vast scope and intention of the Group Areas Act.
