How might we understand Israel’s system of Apartheid? This class will focus on the concept, structures and practices of Apartheid. It will begin with a general overview of the concept, including its legal definition and historical cases, most notably in South Africa. The class will then explore various dimensions of Israel’s system of Apartheid—physical, ideological, infrastructure, and institutional—and end with a discussion of how it might be challenged, and if possible, dismantled.
