The political and legislative changes which took place in South
Africa during the 1990s, with the dissolution of apartheid, created
a unique set of social conditions. As official policies of
segregation were abolished, people of both black and white racial
groups began to experience new forms of social contact and
intimacy. By examining these emerging processes of intergroup
contact in South Africa, and evaluating related evidence from the
US, Racial Encounter offers a social psychological account of
desegregation. It begins with a critical analysis of the
traditional theories and research models used to understand
desegregation: the contact hypothesis and race attitude theory. It
then analyzes every day discourse about desegregation in South
Africa, showing how discourse shapes individuals' conception and
management of their changing relationships and acts as a site of
ideological resistance to social change. The connection between
place, identity and re-creation of racial boundaries emerge as a
central theme of this analysis. This book will be of interest to
social psychologists, students of intergroup relations and all
those interested in post-apartheid South Africa.
