Abstract
Black2 resistance and political violence in South Africa demonstrate regional peculiarities. This paper explores such peculiarities in the Durban region. It will be argued that some of the objective inequalities which cause a predisposition to and precipitate African resistance have a spatial dimension-specifically, they are concentrated in urban townships in "white" areas. By contrast, in the bantustans these grievances have been at least partially defused. This spatial dimension is the product of the government's strategic logic and has been accentuated in the post-1 976 "reform" era.
