Apartheid intensified preexisting state-created categories rather than inventing new ones

Evidence

Installation of apartheid from 1948 onward modified, and then reinforced, categorical differences previous administrations had created. It did so with greatly increased intensity: uprooting Africans and Colored people from long-established urban residences; herding Africans into small, fragmented, overpopulated homelands; even segregating European children into different schools according to the language spoken at home, English or Afrikaans. — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 566
