Abstract
Black urban townships have been neglected by South African geographers. The novels of Dhlomo, Paton, Dikobe, Huddleston, Mphahlele, Gordimer, Markowitz, Jacobson and Fugard throw light on conditions and activities in Johannesburg’s Black townships, slumyards and mixed-race areas which presently exist and in those which have been demolished. Since insights into these phenomena are difficult to acquire by scientific research, especially in the apartheid city, the experimental literary record is an extremely valuable one.
