Questions of identity in the South African census

Auteur :
CHRISTOPHER, A.J.

Description :
Questions of personal identity have been at the centre of South African politics since the formation of the Union in 1910. It is scarcely surprising that successive censuses have probed the issues of race, religion, language and citizenship in an effort to assess the character of the national population, or specific segments of it. It may be queried whether the current questions, largely inherited from the previous era, are still adequate for the post-apartheid state. - (AJC)
