Susanne Klausen, Professor of History at Carleton University, holds a seminar on her book-in-progress "Forbidden Desire: Interracial Intimacy in South Africa during Apartheid, 1948-1994"
How important was the regulation of sexuality to the maintenance of white supremacy in South Africa during apartheid? What was the impact of the enforcement of legislation criminalizing inter-racial sex from the 1950s to the 1980s on South African citizens and subjects as well as internationally? What techniques did the police and courts utilize to enforce that law?
