SIT South Africa: Social & Political Transformation
- South Africa
- Durban
About Program
Explore the dynamic socioeconomic, political, and cultural processes of South Africa — an extraordinarily diverse country in transition.
Following decades of systematic segregation under apartheid, South Africa is striving to free itself of a legacy of racial discrimination, economic exploitation, and political authoritarianism to build a democratic and equitable regime. Nation building is a complex process that involves reconciling the past and forging the way to a common future.
