| description | This is a thesis about popular perceptions of "race" - the way in which ordinary people in South Africa conceptualise and understand the term.

The scientific conception, it is constantly emphasised, refers to a category based exclusively on physical, genetic, biologically inherited criteria. The popular conception, on the other hand, does not adhere to this strict formulation (Boonzaier,1988:61). |
