Social geography under apartheid ( South Africa).

Over the last 15 years, South African social geography has undergone considerable changes in direction. While still in the embryonic stages, the perspectives encompassed by studies of the unsocial world of apartheid, particularly as it is experienced by Blacks in the Bantustans and the townships, is leading to a loosening of the previously dominant and emasculating dependence on Anglo-American human geography. Studies of South African society constitute a potential source of innovation and advance, of relevance to social geography globally. -J.Sheail
