  • This paper originated from a workshop in Stellenbosch in 1995. Gavin Williams presented versions of it at the Universities of Arizona and Oxford (1996), Rhodes and Stellenbosch Universities (1997) and at a Conference on Sustainable Land Reform organized by AIC Conferences, Johannesburg (1997). The authors arc indebted for comments, criticisms and sharing knowledge to Brendan Baylcy, William Beinart, Henry Bernstein, Shirley Brooks, Richard Clacey, Catherine Cross, Tim Clynick, Chris de Wet, Andries du Toit, Liz Francis, Michael Fridjhon, Fred Hendricks, Rosalie Kingwill, Johann Kirsten, Graham McIntosh, Colin Murray, Robin Palmer, John Platter, Shafiur Rahman, Anne Vaughan, Ruth Watson and Michael Whisson, and to their colleagues Norma Tregurtha and Christine Visser who are working with them on research on the wine industry funded by the University of Stellenbosch. Gavin Williams is grateful to the Ernest Oppenheimer Memorial, the Helen Suzman Foundation, and the Beit, Hayter, and Oppenhcimer Funds of the University of Oxford, and to the Departments of Sociology at Rhodes and Stellenbosch Universities and to the Centre for Social and Development Studies at the University of Natal, for enabling him to undertake research in South Africa.
