About
The South African Miracle: Challenges and Accomplishments in Politics and IndustryThis course introduces students to a country with a tragic past but also a promising future. The primary academic objective of this Interim is to gain firsthand knowledge and understanding of how racial injustice has been encountered in political and industrial contexts. Participants in this Interim will not only read and study South African history, culture, and industrial change -they will also experience South African townships, meet with political leaders from a variety of political parties, and visit gold mines. Students will explore - in readings, classes, and visits - South Africa's apartheid past, the struggles for and painful miracle of its democratic transition, and the political-economy of the mining industry where interactions of politics, business, and race are poignant.
