The Life and Work of a South African Economist
For forty or so years, from the 1930s to the mid-1970s, Desmond Hobart Houghton was one of South Africa’s most prominent economists, based throughout his academic career at Rhodes University. He belonged to the liberal school of economists who believed in the free market and modernization theory, being particularly influenced by Walt Rostow’s stages of growth model, which he applied to South Africa. The rural economy, migrant labor, and regional …

Oxford in the bush’
Over the years, many members of the Rhodes University community have proudly claimed their university to be a kind of transplanted Oxford, while others have viewed this claim as pretentious – hence the derogatory label 'Oxford in the bush'. This article explores the connections and comparison between the two institutions. In the early twentieth century, both universities strongly identified with the British imperial cause; and for decades Rhodes …

The people's city
This is a collection of essays on African life in 20th-century Durban. It brings alive a vibrant city culture of crowds and violence, militant women, beer brewing, ricksha-pulling, shebeens and popular music and dance. Histories of Lamontville, Inanda and Clermont complement studies of workers, trade union organisation and political resistance. This is an engrossing picture of the city, which evolved the 'Durban system' of control and exploitatio…
Tensions Within the Practice of History
Explaining the apartheid city
The theme of urban segregation/apartheid has generated a considerable body of scholarly writing in the past 20 years. This urban research has been highly interdisciplinary, mainly involving geographers and historians and has tended to be afrocentric in focus. Numerous case studies have been produced, but few works that have synthesised or theorised. Much attention has been given to the process of urban segregation, as scholars have traced its ori…

The “Black Belt”
À partir des années 1920, la pression de la paupérisation rurale et l'attraction de l'offre du travail par les industries de transformation ont entraîné une urbanisation rapide. L'article étudie ce processus à partir de l'exemple de Durban entre 1935 et 1950. L'auteur montre comment les Africains ont développé dans cette ville des bidonvilles tant à cause de la pénurie de logements urbains que parce qu'ils souhaitaient vivre dans un environnement…
