dc.description.abstractM. Adhikari, ‘Hope, Fear, Shame, Frustration: Continuity and Change in the Expression of Coloured Identity in White Supremacist South Africa, 1910-1994’ (PhD thesis, University of Cape Town, 2002). The central argument of the dissertation is that Coloured identity is better understood not as having evolved through a series of transformations during this period, as conventional historical thinking would have it, but to have remained surprisingbly stable throughout the era of white rule. This is not to contend that Coloured identity was static or that it lacked fluidity, but that the continuities during this period were more fundamental to the way in which it operated as a social identity than the changes it experienced. It is argued at some length that this stability was derived from a central core of enduring characteristics that regulated the way in which Colouredness functioned as an identity during this period. For the core of the argument, see especially pp. 7-8 and 24-43.
