THE RANDLORDS AND FIGURATIONS: AN ELIASIAN STUDY OF SOCIAL CHANGE AND SOUTH AFRICA A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of PhD (Sociology) By Jacques Human The University of Edinburgh 2018 LAY SUMMARY This study investigates the role that the Randlords, a group of mining magnates with wide-ranging concerns operating in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, played in social change in South Africa. The way of thinking about this is in terms of figurations, or groups of people who have a shared purpose and tend to stick together. It also develops a way of understanding and drawing conclusions from letters and old documents. The First Randlord investigated was George Farrar, and it was found that many Randlords had different goals and views, but many did share the views of goals of a colonial administrator called Alfred Milner.
