| Abstract
| - Why have Coloureds in South Africa—people of mixed racial descent—voiced less opposition to white minority rule than have black Africans? A theoretical analysis suggests that Coloureds feel both “relatively deprived” in comparison with whites and “relatively gratified” in comparison with Africans, that they believe they may eventually be accepted by whites, and that individually they have difficulty identifying with the broader Coloured community; in short, seemingly ideal conditions for the emergence of a “Coloured Bourgeoisie” rather than a “Coloured Power” ideology.
