Institution:

University of Rochester

Subject:

Description:

Rarely have the dreams of a nation been so bound to an individual as with Nelson Mandela and South Africa. Using Mandela’s ninety-two year life-span as a framework, this course will follow the political, social, and cultural changes that have swept South Africa in a single lifetime. From the consolidation of a white supremacist government, through the nightmare of Apartheid, and into the hope of a New South Africa, this class will explore the major themes of African nationalism, post-colonialism, Marxist revolution, civil disobedience, third-world development, and international human rights.
