		And so he chose to conduct research at the KwaThema Hostel complex, which was built decades ago to literally keep 7,000 fl male migrant workers in their place, but has now transformed, encapsulating key aspects of the South African experience both before and after apartheid.
		As the system of racial repression crumbled, Elder argues, women and their children, often Zulus from other regions, used their new freedom of mobility to move to the hostel in hopes of finding work as laborers and domestics.
		The migration has fundamentally altered the character of KwaThema (and other migrant labor housing), but the women remain, for official purposes anyway, hidden in plain sight.
