Inter-group relations - South African perspective (Paperback)


"Is it natural to categorise people into groups? How do we determine category borders - the in-group 'we' and out-group 'them'? How and why is in-group love so close to out-group hate, and why do people who have to live side by side manage to hate one another so deeply?" This title investigates inter-group relations in a post-apartheid South Africa. It examines how out-group hatred and in-group affection can be, and often are, drawn not only along lines of gender, religion, class and race, but are also at play in homes and families, in relationships between different cultural groups, the landed and the landless, language communities, the employed and unemployed, and the stigmatisation of people living with HIV/Aids. Inter-group relations looks at a wide range of social, personal and interpersonal issues from psychological and ideological perspectives. Pertinent subjects covered include: The nature and causes of social dominance and prejudice; racial stereotyping; racially motivated attacks; homelessness and the land question; the phenomenon of gated communities and the politics of space and exclusion; the politics of HIV/Aids; majority and minority influence.
