Dr. Dawne Curry joins us on the Front Porch to discuss the South African history of Apartheid and Trevor Noah’s experience as the child of a white father and Black mother. Dr. Curry is an Associate Professor of History and Ethnic Studies. Her research field is 20th and 21st century African history with an emphasis on South African protest and resistance struggles. This Fulbright Scholar (South Africa, 2017-2018) is the author of the forthcoming Social Justice at Apartheid’s Dawn: African Women Intellectuals and the Quest to Save the Nation. The work examines the role of African women in the conversation on nationalism during South Africa’s era of segregation, excavates female voices, and brings them to the provocative fore. Clearly, we are honored to have her join us! Dr. Curry shares the beginnings of Apartheid-like policies and shows how they laid the foundation for the system of oppression and segregation in the mid-20th century. She tells us the story of movements to counter the oppression and what present day South Africa policies are. This episode is illuminating, challenging, and yes, there are still some belly laughs along the way.
