The old world of racial lines and community boundaries is falling away. Instead, it is being replaced by ‘tribes’ - groups of people who are united by their lifestyles and expectations. In The New Urban Tribes of South Africa, twelve such groups are identified. The book’s editor, Dion Chan from Flux Trends, admits that these are not all of the groups in our country, but it is a good place to start. So, are you a Diamond Chip? An Afrikaans Artiste? One of the Techno Hippies? Or caught in the woes of the Lost Generation?
