HIS 295-04 - Special Topic: Reckoning with the past in modern Africa2 credits (Spring)
This course explores the state and community mechanisms instituted after apartheid in South Africa and the genocide in Rwanda to document histories of violence and confront legacies of injustice. Transitional and restorative justice practices (i.e. the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the Rwandan gacaca community court system) will provide a focal point of comparison, but we will also consider other post-conflict means of collective self-reflection through cultural expression, public commemoration, and grassroots and student activism.
Prerequisite: HIS 100 , or second-year standing.
Note: Dates January 24 to March 18. Half-semester deadlines apply.
Instructor: Prevost
