Title: E-book: Confronting Apartheid
Body:
The African Studies Center at Boston University is delighted to announce the launch of the Confronting Apartheid e-book, co-produced with Facing History and Ourselves. Through attentive historical analysis, Facing History encourages students to relate history to their own lives and understand their roles as members of a larger democracy. This project was supported with funding from the Title VI National Resource Centers program.
Available for free online, Confronting Apartheid explores critical moments in South Africa's history, including the period prior to European colonization, the period of colonization, the development of policies based on racial segregation, and the development of the apartheid state. It further discusses anti-apartheid movements and the institutions, policies, and principles put in place to facilitate the development of a non-racial democracy.
Lastly, this resource includes both the growth of race rule and resistance to white rule. In addition to a comprehensive historical introduction, each chapter also contains carefully selected primary source excerpts with thoughtful connection questions that can be used as stand-alone resources or in conjunction with other elements of the book.
