South African Politics, Society, and Race Relations
Following a 1980 trip to South Africa where he lectured to law students and faculty, George Christie discusses South African society, law, politics, and race relations. He argues that because of a lack of social consensus among the powerful minority of white Afrikaners and the other racial and political groups, prospects for the future of South Africa, particularly with regard to Apartheid, are dim. He is also pessimistic about the inevitability of racial violence.
Christie was a Fellow of the National Humanities Center (1980-81) and professor of law at Duke University.
John Agresto, on the staff of the National Humanities Center, joins Wayne Pond for this interview. This edition of Soundings was conducted by Wayne J. Pond.
