GGR241H1 Chapter Notes -White Nationalism
Document Summary
The transformation of johannesburg"s black western areas by pirie and hart. White nationalist legislation after 1948 and 1923 native (urban areas) act controlled black labor class. Sophiatown as a mining camp but with racial restrictions but those who bought it were faced with a health hazard: sophiatown and martindale ratepayers asked to remove blacks to. Klipspruit: unable to remove blacks from the land so whites left. Massive immigration led to black territory turning into white and had to rent inner- city housing as they were removed by the native act: priority given to the whites when replacing them on land. During time or war authority found johannesburg as a good labor supply but they were short of material to create public housing. Slum clearance: removal of smaller slum area rather than white townships, done in favor of jcc for getting white ratepayers and voters.
