Survival in South Africa Under Apartheid

The scourge called apartheid, state sponsored racial segregation, infected South Africa for almost half a century. This special lecture will relate what it was like for white and black South Africans to live under apartheid, the legacy of the anti-apartheid movement and what life is like in this extraordinary country today. Dartmouth graduate Neville Frankel, author and award-winning documentary film maker, was born in Johannesburg and immigrated to the United States with his family as a teenager. In 2005 he returned to South Africa for the first time in 38 years and has returned many times since. After graduating from Dartmouth, he did doctoral work in English literature at the University of Toronto and embarked on a successful writing career with a well-received political thriller, The Third Power.
