Based on new evidence that challenges existing theories of urban
inequality, Crankshaw argues that the changing pattern of earnings
and occupational inequality in Johannesburg is better described by
the professionalism of employment alongside high-levels of chronic
unemployment. 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.
