The rules of the game

the long version

Five case studies explore the policy of social activity for blacks during the era of apartheid. They are African sport and the struggle for urban space; the politics of reading: literacy, consciousness, and the development of library services for blacks; maids and mesdames: contested objectives in social welfare programs for African women; social drinking, drunkenness, and temperance among the African middle class; and socialization, subordination, and the rise of the social work profession among blacks.
