South Africa's apartheid scheme is considered as a paradigm case for the creation and maltreatment of a putatively surplus population. Both active and passive policies are identified that are utilized to contain the numbers of the black population of the nation. Of particular significance is a strategy of neglect that has led to exceptionally high infant and child mortality rates in the "homelands." In addition, the South African authorities' efforts to destabilize neighboring regimes in Angola and Mozambique has had similarly adverse repercussions on mortality rates there. © 1987 Springer.
