This book is drawn from diverse studies that grapple with Black
Middle Class experiences in contemporary and historical South
Africa. The chapters present research from diverse disciplines, and
tackle issues related to being black and middle class, using both
quantitative and qualitative approaches. Like many other social
phenomena, the black middle class concept is seen as complex and
not easy to pin down. As a result, conceptualizations from these
chapters are dynamic and relevant for understanding the position of
the black middle class in contemporary South African society. An
interesting dynamic explored by contributors is the critical
engagement with the usually reductionist notions of black middle
class experiences as ahistorical, homogenous experiences of a group
of conspicuous consumers. These limiting notions are unpacked and
repositioned in how the book is structured. This book was published
as a special issue of Development Southern Africa.
