In this compelling study, Rebekah Lee explores the process and consequences of settlement through the everyday lives and testimonies of three generations of African women in Cape Town during the apartheid (1948-94) and post-apartheid periods. How did African women experience apartheid? How did they create a sense of belonging in a city that actively denied and resisted their presence? Through detailed analyses of women's management of domestic economies, their participation in township social organizations, their home renovation priorities and patterns of energy use, this study evokes a larger history of gendered and generational struggles over identity, place and belonging. It provides a deeper and more nuanced understanding of African women in apartheid and post-apartheid society, and of urbanization in South Africa. 'a major contribution to South African urban history, sociology and anthropology'-Professor William Beinart, African Studies Centre, University of Oxford 'This is a wonderful work African Women and Apartheid will find eager readers among historians and anthropologists with interests in South Africa, urban studies and gender.'-Profess Karen Tranberg Hansen, Northwestern Universit"
