eBook
Outsmarting Apartheid
2014
Overview
For almost forty years, under the watchful eye of the apartheid
regime, some three thousand South Africans participated in cultural
and educational exchange with the United States. Exposure to
American democracy brought hope during a time when social and
political change seemed unlikely. In the end the process silently
triumphed over the resistance of authorities, and many of the
individuals who participated in the program later participated in
South Africa's first democratic elections, in 1994, and now occupy
key positions in academia, the media, parliament, and the
judiciary. In Outsmarting Apartheid , Daniel Whitman,
former Program Development Officer at the US Embassy in Pretoria,
interviews the South Africans and Americans who administered,
advanced, and benefited from government-funded exchange. The result
is a detailed account of the workings and effectiveness of the US
Information Agency and a demonstration of the value of \"soft power\"
in easing democratic transition in a troubled area.
