First post:

Choose 1 question (below) to answer in a paragraph.

1. Apartheid South Africa was considered a police state. In what ways did the South African apartheid government try to control the political and social/cultural lives of South Africans through the police? Include in your explanation a specific quote or example from the text where appropriate.

2. What are Bantu schools? How did the apartheid government use the Bantu school as a primary tool to obtain citizen compliance with authority?

3. Segregation, as institutionalized in the Immorality Act (1927), applied to all social situations. Choose 1 area of society where social relations were structured to reinforce White supremacy. For example, Trevor’s father, Robert, a Swiss man, suffered a hit to his steakhouse restaurant when he did not comply with social segregation in his business. Through this example, can you explain how apartheid tried to control whites as much as it did blacks and coloreds? (You can use a different example/area to explain South African segregation.)
