Central to this examination is that the social polarisation hypothesis, which is accepted by many, is simply wrong in the case of Johannesburg. Ultimately, Crankshaw posits that the post-Fordist, post-apartheid period is characterised by a completely new division of labour that has caused new forms of racial inequality. That racial inequality in the post-apartheid period is not the result of the persistence of apartheid-era causes, but is the result of new causes that have interacted with the historical effects of apartheid to produce new patterns of racial inequality.
Owen Crankshaw is Full Professor of Sociology at the University of Cape Town, where he is an expert in the design and statistical analysis of surveys and population censuses. He is the author of Race, Class and the Changing Division of Labour Under Apartheid (1997) and co-author of Uniting a Divided City: Governance and social exclusion in Johannesburg (2002). He has contributed to many other books and scholarly journals in the field of Urban and African Studies.
