essay history
“I would like you to write a 500 word (approximate) opinion piece giving your own view of contemporary South Africa in light of its history. What is your assessment of democracy in South Africa (think constitution as well as elections). What is your assessment of the current state of the country: politics, economics, society? You don’t have to cover everything; just think about what you consider most important. And make sure that you include one quote by a South African (you all used lots of them in your essays) that you think especially important (the type of statement that you think you will remember long after this class is over). No footnotes, no citations.”
