Chinese Labor in South Africa Sparks White Opposition
Robert Montgomery, a Roxbirgehire native, recounts his South African experience amid a flood of Chinese labor and colonial policy. He notes white workers’ resentment, the government’s importation of 100,000 Chinese, breakaway status of 40,000 laborers, and the risk to white livelihoods as Kaffir labor shifts and poll taxes are proposed. He cites Joahnnesburg unrest and an effigy incident of Kruger, plus British labor commissions and policy debates.
