Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
South Africa's hostels were designed to house temporarily those Africans allowed to work in "white-only" areas. Based on the author's Ph.D. thesis, this study not only documents the appalling conditions found in the hostels, which have become permanent fixtures of the South African landscape, but also pays special attention to the idea of "space" as a social, political, and physical component in hostel life and in the larger context of South Africa as well. We are thereby provided with crucial insight into the lives of these migrant laborers. A blending of both anthropology and psychology (Ramphele originally trained as a medical doctor), this study is recommended for academic collections on South Africa.
