520 | _aThis paper is concerned with the articulation of race and social class in the new South Africa. It is based on research into the white and non-white middle classes undertaken in Durban over several years. Its main hypothesis is that class identity both reinforces and gradually replaces race identity. The examples presented here are taken from the spatial organization of the city, specifically residential areas and a recreation area, the beach. I show that the middle classes play an important part in the reorganization and reshaping of urban spaces, raising issues about how territory is to be shared. How people share the city and “live together” varies between the two examples given; and new social identities are created even if the old points of communal reference remain very strong. | ||
