The distribution of incomes in South Africa in 2004, ten years
after the transition to democracy, was probably more unequal than
it had been under apartheid. In this book, Jeremy Seekings and
Nicoli Nattrass explain why this is so, offering a detailed and
comprehensive analysis of inequality in South Africa from the
midtwentieth century to the early twenty-first century. They show
that the basis of inequality shifted in the last decades of the
twentieth century from race to class. Formal deracialization of
public policy did not reduce the actual disadvantages experienced
by the poor nor the advantages of the rich. The fundamental
continuity in patterns of advantage and disadvantage resulted from
underlying continuities in public policy, or what Seekings and
Nattrass call the "distributional regime." The post-apartheid
distributional regime continues to divide South Africans into
insiders and outsiders. The insiders, now increasingly multiracial,
enjoy good access to well-paid, skilled jobs; the outsiders lack
skills and employment.
