HIST 395 - History of South Africa

Institution:

Xavier University

Subject:

Description:

South Africa is one of the wealthiest nations on the African continent and yet for the last three hundred years its riches have been in the hands of the white minority. The history of South Africa cannot be understood only within the context of European/African relations. For Dutch (Afrikaaner) and British settlers often have not shared economic and political interests. Moreover, Africans, such as Khoi, Xhosa, and Zulu have also been in conflict. The history of South Africa then, provides the opportunity to study a racially complex society in which interracial relations, and sometimes intraracial relations, were (and still are) troublesome.
