Southern Africa has
long been considered an economic and political basket case. Poverty,
famine,
Aids, environmental degradation, and capacity deprivation, have all
been
considered corollaries to the region¿s colonial legacies, and
postcolonial
struggles of identities and policies. Yet scholars and activists argue
that the
region, indeed the continent, is capable of transcending its blighted
history,
but this requires collective conscientious will and actions of
institutions and
individuals within the African continent, as well as in the West. This
seminar-based course, through theories, literary works, case studies,
and
direct interviews of Southern Africans, makes intelligible the major
perspectives
that attempt to explain, predict and effect transformative change in Southern Africa, and in those who study the
region.
