[The] purpose [of The Economics of the Colour Bar] is not to provide an up‐to‐date account of the racial situation in South Africa. It simply uses the experience of that country in an attempt to expose the ultimate origins of colour injustices generally. Similar origins can, I suggest, be discerned for all colour, racial, caste, class or similar injustices wherever they may exist From the Foreword, p. 5. All quotations are from W. H. Hutt (1964).
