Hi!

I found this site and hope to get some information here.But lets first introduce myself: I'm a 19 year old student from Germany.I choosed to write some Kind of a big essay in my main Course English about Apartheid in South Africa and Coetzees Novel "Disgrace" dealing with this topic.

One part of my project is to sum up Apartheid,especially the situation after the official abolition of Apartheid up to today.The other part is to work out the Themes of Coetzees novel "Disgrace and his description of apartheid.

So I would involve in my project the Opinion of people who live in South Africa and were/are confronted with Apartheid.

I have especially 3 questions,but I also will be thankful if you write down any idea which comes into your mind thinking about Apartheid:

1.)How do teenager think about Apartheid?Do they care about what happend in your History and still seperate between Whites and Blacks (friendships?)?

2.)Are there differences between inhabitants in big Citys like Capetown and in contrast inhabitants in Countrysides thinking about Apartheid and dealing with it?

3.)Although Apartheid is officially abolished,how far do People in South Africa still "Seperate" in their minds.


I really appreciate every answer,comments and links concerning my project!
