HIST 385 - The New South Africa

Institution:

Ramapo College of New Jersey

Subject:

Description:

This course will take a particularly unique perspective. The history of a people is more than the description of their condition over a period of time. It is also the understanding of that history's "turning points": the periods, people, philosophies, and events around which the direction of a people is changed or cemented. The material presented in this course will be selected and organized to illuminate these "turning points" in South African history; i.e., The Coming of the Dutch, Early South African Resistance, Formation of the ANC, The Sharpeville Massacre, The Soweto Riots, World Sanctions, Ending Apartheid, Democracy and The Transition. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Amer and Int'l Studies College History Department Course Attributes: GE-INTERNATIONAL ISSUES, MJ-INTL-Area Studies-Africa
