apartheid  

Definición

  • Apartheid is an Afrikaner word that means “separateness” or “apartness.” It represents a cluster of policies that were designed to achieve “total separation” between races in South Africa, the effect of which was to preserve the economic and political privilege of the White minority. The application of apartheid led to a vast program of social engineering that lent constitutional legitimacy to the subjugation of the non-White majority.
