CETA 0914 - The Power of Many: Performance and Protest in Apartheid-era South Africa

Institution:
Brown University
Subject:
Description:
In 1994, Nelson Mandela was elected President of South Africa, ending nearly 50 years of brutal apartheid rule by the whites-only National Party. The government justified apartheid (from an Afrikaans word meaning “separateness”) as a kind of “good neighborliness.” This neighborliness consisted of limits on speech and movement for non-whites; broad denial of access to education, healthcare, and employment; and outright torture and violence. In this three-week course, students will explore how novelists, playwrights, dancers, and singers responded to the brutalities of everyday life in the “old” South Africa.
