Sorting Contexts: historical vs. rhetorical

1. In the analysis of a protest object or artifact, I will be looking at freedom songs from both the apartheid and post-apartheid era.

2a.    

•  Colonization & prejudice 
• leading up to apartheid and the election of the nationalist party 
• oppressive regimes and segregation in the beginning of apartheid
• native, grassroots protests ANC (boycotts/non-cooperation)
• protests turned violent and the imprisonment of Nelson Mandela 
• the creation of the UDF and the anti-apartheid movement
• repeal of apartheid laws and election of Nelson Mandela 

2b.

• Native South Africans as an oppressed people
• community of natives formed to organize boycotts and subordination
• creation and identity of the ANC 
• identity of violent protestors/ causes of violence (language and action)
• Peaceful and civil action during the imprisonment of Nelson Mandela.
