This introduction to the history of Southern Africa examines precolonial African societies, the growth of white settlement, and the struggle for dominance in the region. The second half of the course covers industrialization, segregation and apartheid and examines the ways blacks and whites, men and women, have shaped, and have been shaped, by these processes. Particular emphasis is placed on the role of religion in shaping the social and political history of the region.
