In the years after World War II, hundreds of millions of Africans experienced newfound independence after decades or in some cases centuries of Colonialism. But in South Africa, the descendants of white settlers, and other European immigrants increased the subjugation of 90 percent of the populace through overtly racist policies under the umbrella term of Apartheid.
During the Apartheid era, non-whites couldn't vote, marry, go to school with, or live alongside whites. Many also lost citizenship rights in their own nation.
Gabeba Baderoon grew up in this era but as a young woman saw the end of Apartheid. She is now an Associate Professor of Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies, and African Studies at Penn State. Gabeba is also an award-winning poet. In this episode, I talk to Gabeba about South African society under apartheid both broadly and from her own personal experiences.
