> African Domestic Workers under Apartheid
>
> This presentation explores how female domestic workers responded to,  
> and resisted, apartheid through their daily work.  One of the most  
> common forms of employment for African women during the apartheid  
> years was as domestic servants in white households.  Women so employed  
> were usually careful, in their interactions with their “masters” and  
> “mistresses,” to demonstrate the subservience, deference, and  
> obedience that they knew whites expected of them.  Their actions,  
> however, didn’t always reflect workers’ true feelings.  A close look  
> at their actual routines in these homes reveals how African domestics  
> managed to put up a façade while quietly challenging the racial  
> assumptions of their employers and other whites and protecting their  
> own interests within these hostile environments.

> Time and Location: Noon-1p.m., Room 101 ISB Building

> The notion of global sustainability is in high fashion.  But what does
