| Abstract: | The Chinese occupy a strange position in South African society. Although of minority group status and legally classified as Non-White, the Chinese have few connections with members of the other Non-White population groups and participate quite freely in some of the activities otherwise reserved for Whites. This inconsistency in attitudes on an informal an formal level as well as an ambiguity within formal attitudes towards the Chinese per se may constitute a potential source of marginality, the Chinese in South Africa facing their future from a marginal position possibly as a direct result of the attitudes of the dominant White society towards them. The researcher examines the attitudes of the dominant White society towards South Africa's Chinese in terms of the concept marginal man. Ref., sum. (also in Afrikaans, French and German). |
