In this compelling study, Rebekah Lee explores the process and
consequences of settlement through the everyday lives and
testimonies of three generations of African women in Cape Town
during the apartheid (1948-94) and post-apartheid periods. How did
African women experience apartheid? How did they create a sense of
belonging in a city that actively denied and resisted their
presence? Through detailed analyses of women's management of
domestic economies, their participation in township social
organizations, their home renovation priorities and patterns of
energy use, this study evokes a larger history of gendered and
generational struggles over identity, place and belonging. It
provides a deeper and more nuanced understanding of African women
in apartheid and post-apartheid society, and of urbanization in
South Africa. Drawing together scholarship and new methodologies
from anthropology, history, human geography and development
studies, "African Women and Apartheid" will be valuable to anyone
with interests in South Africa, gender, urbanization, the African
family, oral history and memory.
