In this book, Jeremy Seekings and Nicoli Nattrass explain why this is so, offering a detailed and comprehensive analysis of inequality in South Africa from the mid-twentieth century to the early twenty-first century. They show that the basis of inequality shifted in the last decades of the twentieth century from race to class. Formal deracialization of public policy did not reduce the actual disadvantages experienced by the poor nor the advantages of the rich. The fundamental continuity in patterns of advantage and disadvantage resulted from underlying continuities in public policy, or what Seekings and Nattrass call the "distributional regime." The post-apartheid distributional regime continues to divide South Africans into insiders and outsiders. The insiders, now increasingly multiracial, enjoy good access to well-paid, skilled jobs; the outsiders lack skills and employment. 606 $aIncome distribution$zSouth Africa 606 $aApartheid$xEconomic aspects$zSouth Africa 606 $aSocial classes$zSouth Africa 606 $aLabor market$zSouth Africa 606 $aEducation and state$zSouth Africa 615 0$aIncome distribution 615 0$aApartheid$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aSocial classes 615 0$aLabor market 615 0$aEducation and state 676 $a306.3/0968 700 $aSeekings$b Jeremy$0662629 701 $aNattrass$b Nicoli$0126370 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777785803321 996 $aClass, race, and inequality in South Africa$91377059 997 $aUNINA
