Anthropology 355 - South Africa: Change and Challenges
The richest country in Africa, South Africa was ruled until very recently by a brutal white dictatorship that repeatedly committed crimes against humanity upon its black inhabitants. Starting at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, students travel from Kruger Park to the Indian Ocean to learn of the changes and challenges since then, with lectures by local experts, students and citizens. They visit game reserves, famous archaeological and paleontological sites, rural native villages and glittering malls, museums, schools, orphanages, squatter camps, beaches, and mountains in a quest to understand their continuing transition to a multiracial, multicultural democracy.Course: ANTH 355
