Show notes
Apartheid is often taught as a uniquely South African system, but the ideas that shaped it didn’t appear out of nowhere. In this episode of They Lied About Africa, we explore how apartheid was built from systems that already existed across the world, including American Jim Crow segregation, colonial governance structures, and racial classification laws. By looking at the global influences behind apartheid, we uncover how governments study, borrow, and adapt systems of power and control. This episode challenges the narrative that apartheid was simply an African problem and instead places it within a broader history of racial governance. Tune in to rethink what you thought you knew about apartheid and the global systems that helped shape it.
