Description:

Not open to freshmen. Students in the course will be introduced initially to the social, cultural and political landscape of the country of South Africa today, as its citizens continue their efforts to recuperate from Apartheid. Students will focus on the formal and informal initiatives of the various cultural groups within this multi-racial society to sustain autonomy while trying to foster inter-group civility. In addition the assigned readings will include works that define and describe the processes of qualitative data collection and analysis in anthropology. These two basic categories of readings and the ensuring discussions are intended to prepare students for small-scale ethnographic research among student and/or community populations within the Pretoria-Witwatersrand and Western Cape area.
