Abstract: | The Durban rickshaw pullers' strikes of 1918 and 1930 have thus far been studied as part of the larger phenomenon of African resistance in Durban during that period. This article deals with the question of why the strikes occurred and what the outcome was in each case. This is done against the background of the anomalous position rickshaw pullers occupied within Durban's labour market. Notes, ref. |
