Heard on Campus: Gabeba Baderoon on the Legacy of Slavery in S. Africa

10/29/09

"If you walked in the streets in 18th or 19th century Cape Town, and you looked at the people in the street, you would not be able to tell by skin color who was a slave owner and who was a slave. There was heavy regulation about what clothing slaves could wear, whether they could congregate in larger numbers than two or three at a time, whether they could travel at night without carrying a pass or carrying a lantern. They were never able to travel at night without being lighted in some way." This is the legacy that lingers with us, even during the post-apartheid period." -Gabeba Baderoon, Assistant Professor of Women's Studies and African and African American Studies
