While scholars and activists have long recognised the suffering caused by apartheid removals to the so-called 'homelands', the experiences of those who lived through this process have been more often obscured.   Drawing on extensive archival and oral history research, this book examines the makings and the multiple meanings of relocation into two of the most notorious apartheid 'dumping grounds' established in the Ciskei bantustan during the mid-1960s: Sada and Ilinge. Evans examines the local and global dynamics of the project of bantustan relocation and develops a multi-layered analysis of the complex histories - and ramifications- of displacement and resettlement in the Ciskei.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e[...] 'Das mit viel Empathie für die Bewohnerinnen und Bewohner der Ciskei geschriebene Buch hat seine Stärke in der Empirie. Es zeigt differenziert deren Handlungsmöglichkeiten und -grenzen unter den vorgegebenen Verwaltungsstrukturen auf, so trägt es zur Sozialgeschichte des früheren Homelands bei.' [...]    Rita Schäfer in Dhau - Yearbook for Extra-European History 5\/2020, pp. 235-240.       [...] Survival in the ‘Dumping Grounds is a brilliant work of social history. Evans effortlessly provides a clear and concise account of the tragedy of apartheid in South Africa, expertly executes a nuanced historical analysis with insight into the imperial foundation in which apartheid anchored its segregationist policies, and meticulously presents the stories of Black South Africans who experienced relocation to the bantustans. It is well-researched and masterfully written. Therefore, this book would be ideal for both novice students and expert scholars of Africa. Moreover, it accomplishes the duality of capturing the complexities of segregationist policies while remaining comprehensible.
