COURSE TITLE
Understanding Race-Relations and the Policy of _Apartheid_ in South Africa (45 pages)
COURSE OBJECTIVE
What was _apartheid_? What was the rationale behind it? This course sets out to answer those questions. Also, we shall study South Africans such as Steve Biko who chose to resist the implementation of the policy, how South African _apartheid_ society has been portrayed in fiction, and how leaders such as Nelson Mandela articulated the transition from _apartheid_ to democracy in the 1990s. Finally, we shall see how _apartheid_ is remembered today, and how post-apartheid South Africa is viewed by both foreign journalists and South African citizens.
