HI 349 - A History of South Africa

Lecture Hours: 3
Lab Hours: 0
Credit Hours: 3

Similar to the United States, modern-day South Africa is a plural society with deeply ingrained racial, ethnic, and economic fissures. Adopting multi-racial and multi-ethnic perspectives of history, this course explores the contexts that produced these fissures, including the interactions between Khoesa and Bantu-speaking Africans; the arrival of European settlers and their practices of social domination; the mineral revolution and the wars of imperial conquest; the formation of mission-educated Africans and their protest movements against racial discrimination; the rise of apartheid, anti-apartheid activism, and the effects of democratization and reconciliation since the 1990s. Region: Africa/Asia/Latin America.
