Institution:

Duquesne University

Subject:

PLCR - Center Soc & Pub Policy

Description:

The struggle among communities of South Africans for security, dignity, prosperity, and a sense of control over their own destiny is 350 years old. This course focuses on the clash between the Afrikaner national movement, which was in power from 1948-1994, and the black-led African National Congress (ANC), which governs today. Through readings, films, presentations, lectures, discussion, and role-play exercises, the course examines how each group sought to promote its own survival and interests, and why the ANC eventually overcame white rule. The course also highlights the challenges of the transition to a fully democratic form of government and of forging a "new South Africa".
