This project explores the persistence of racial frameworks amongst Coloureds in
Wentworth, Durban, using perspectives from discourse analysis as a methodological and
theoretical framework. In-depth focus groups and interviews with Wentworth residents
were conducted to investigate the continued socio-political relevance of such frameworks
in the context of their own identity as 'Coloured', especially where these relate to
residual racial hierarchies of the colonial era. Three sample groups were utilised to reflect
the community's socio-economic spectrum, which enabled a class-based discussion of
the way 'Colouredness' and ideals such as national reconciliation may be reflected by
different socio-economic groups. / Thesis (M.Dev.Studies.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, 2008.
