The next section will consider the total institution perspective, because this perspective highlights the totalitarian and coercive aspects of farm life. The origins of the master-servant relationship after 1850 Total institutions are those institutions that regulate the totality of an individual’s life. Typical examples are prisons, army barracks, mental hospitals and even conventional hospitals. The constraints on inmates’ rights of movement and social interaction are often associated with a greater or lesser degree of ideological conformity.
These tenants became sharecroppers, labour tenants or squatters. During this time, black people may have been offered a piece of arable land for household cultivation in return for their work on the white farm. Some black people migrated from farm to farm, particularly for sheep-shearing (Keegan 1986). Increasing numbers of black people found themselves on white-owned land against their will, as white livestock owners encroached on their settlements and as title deeds were issued to white land claimants.
