This article developed out of a qualitative study of the lives of four white working-class families in Newcastle, KwaZulu-Natal. It focuses on how race appears in the built environment – rather than being consciously ‘thought’ – and how, for these families, racism is tied to the loss of place. For them, the experience of living in a house that once promised security and has now become a site of insecurity produces a specific kind of alienation and a racial consciousness which is subtly different from the ‘white talk’ described by Steyn (2001) in analysing white South African discourse
