About This Item
(London: Oxford University Press for the University of Natal, 1959). Natal Regional Survey Report No. 6. 8vo; original blue cloth; dustwrapper; pp. viii + 79; four black-and-white plates; tables and figures. A few short tears to dustwrapper; a little browning. Very good condition. A comprehensive picture of the community of Baumannville, an African township built in 1913 and probably ultimately cleared of African housing when the area was rezoned under the Group Areas Act. Vividly depicts the practical application of the policy of racial segregation, as well as the racial tensions still existing between Africans and Indians in the Durban area not long after the 1949 and 1953 riots. .
