    Synopsis:

    The Durban riots were not an expression of permanent antagonism  between Indians and native Africans but an explosion of deeper frustrations in a society where rapid urbanisation and forced  proletarianisation had subjected large sections of both communities to 'conscious poverty', which meant inability to pay for a home or for  adequate food and clothing.
