A large portion of South Africa's population remains double rooted--many South Africans live in an urban area, but also have access to a rural homestead to which they periodically return and often retire. The authors of Migrant Labour After Apartheid explore this rural-urban reality, showing that internal migrancy continues to have profound impacts on social cohesion, family life, gender relations, household investment, settlement dynamics, and the formation of political identity.
