The nations of southern Africa face unique challenges as they struggle to modernize. This excellent PBS site, PBS Online NewsHour: Land Redistribution in Southern Africa, explores those challenges. The site focuses primarily on the redistribution of land that was controlled by the white minority during the apartheid era. You can learn about the political, social, governmental, and economic impact of this redistribution. The countries of Namibia, Zimbabwe, and South Africa are highlighted. You will also find links to timelines, photographs, and maps. A section for students and teachers presents lesson plans and handouts about conditions in South Africa in the apartheid vs. post-apartheid eras.
