Provides the most comprehensive account since the early 1960s of
South Africa's "black middle class". 2016 CHOICE Outstanding
Academic Title The "rise of the black middle class" is one of the
most visible aspects of post-apartheid society in South Africa. Yet
while it has been a major actor in the country's democratic
reshaping, analysis of its role has been all but lacking. Rather,
the image presented by the media has been of "black diamonds",
consumers of the products of advanced industrial economies, and of
corrupt "tenderpreneurs" who use their political connections to
obtain contracts. This book seeks to complicate that picture with a
much-needed analysis that recounts its historical development in
colonial society prior to 1994, before examining the size, shape
andstructure of the new black middle class in contemporary South
Africa and its relation to its counterparts in the Global South.
