For Their Triumphs and for Their Tears: Conditions and Resistance of Women in Apartheid South Africa (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from For Their Triumphs and for Their Tears: Conditions and Resistance of Women in Apartheid South Africa

Blacks, bant us, african S: Bantu has been the official term used for Africans, who dislike it as being inaccurate and offensive. Black covers three racial groups, that is, Africans, Asians and Coloureds (the term used in South Africa for people of mixed white and black extraction) and, as well as being adopted by the black people, is now coming gradually into official favour.

Black spots: These are areas of land occupied by Africans that are surrounded by white-owned territory, or are 'poorly sited', that is, too close to White farms or towns. To clear the 'black spots' massive uprootings of settled populations and communities have taken place.
