Description: This book outlines the process by which the apartheid Government of the Republic of South Africa set out to maintain its policies by the fiction of 'independence' for its Bantustans. This 'independence' of sections of its territory closely integrated into its economic structure, politically and culturally dominated from Pretoria, continued to guarantee the Republic its flow of cheap mobile migrant labour, shifted the costs of education, health and services on to the Africans themselves, and provided for the racial segregation apartheid demanded. Unesco commissioned this book as part of its contribution to the International Year against Apartheid (1978). It should be read in conjunction with Apartheid: Its Effects on Education, Science, Culture and Information (Paris, Unesco, 1972).
