Fruits of Apartheid:
Experiencing Independence in a Transkeian
Village
Julia Segar
South African anthropologist Julia Segar describes daily
life in one of the "independent homelands" created by the
apartheid regime. Segar tells the story of the transition
to "independence" from the point of view of villagers, critically
analyzing the concept of "independence."
Julia Segar studied social anthropology at the University
of Cape Town and is a lecturer in the Anthropology Dept. of
Rhodes University. In addition to rural research in Transkei,
she has worked as part of a research team investigating conditions
of life in Cape Town's migrant labour hostels. Her present
interest is in the rapidly growing field of medical anthropology
in South Africa.
