Pan African Studies: notes

Since no-one reads this i thought i might just use it to take notes today. 1652 -> Jan Van Ri 1800 -> British went to india before it devided brought indians to SA to work in Sugar Cane Plantations as enslaved people. Boers: Dutch / Afrikaaners... Boer War.. Created language: Afrikaan and raised it to national language.  Boer War - Fighted for "Their land".  1948 -> Gave discrimination "Apartheid" a name. Word comes from word apart but means more than a people seperated.  / Apartheid    +- Whites 4+ Million     |   ( Men from the british empire and Boers     |    and desendents )    +- Indians 2+ Million     |   ( Honorary Whites)     |    +- Coloreds 2+ Million     |   (desendents of the whites and     |   the Indiginous Women )    +- Indiginous 45+ Million / Apartheid / Education   +- Whites $1000 per child    |   (Full Curiculum)   +- Indians $200 per child    |  ( Math & Science )    +- Coloreds $100 per child    |   +- Indiginous $25 - $15 per child 87% Land owned by Euro Affricans *8% of the people. You had a pass to go into different areas higher up the apartheid ladder. or even be in your own area.  You could only go into white area if you get a stamp that lasted 72 hours.  You could get it for service to whites. Compounds called Hostels.  Worse than many prisons here.  To work in the cities non-whites had to live in hostels cut off from family.Euro Affricans could have indiginous servants live in"guest" homes. Work would be around $10 a month. husb & Wife must work, 72hr rule made it so you had to live on the out-side of town you had work so husb & wife couldnt live together
