South Africas 3rd Dispensation Pt. 2 - The Rainbow Nation Robert Duigan 2020-07-14 | In this episode, we cover the period of ANC in government until 2013, and show how the ideas formed in the struggle came to be employed in the third dispensation, the Rainbow Nation.Part one was an account of the ideas and power dynamics which defined the years from South Africa's formation until the Nationalist Party took over in 1948.Part two looked at the system of Afrikaner Nationalism, including its historical roots in the Great Trek.Part three described the thoughts and deeds of the ANC during the Struggle against Apartheid.Finally, we will turn to observing the ways in which the current system is coming apart, and the potential new systems which may emerge from the instability we are currently experiencing - a fourth dispensation.---------Tip jar: paypal.me/marhobane---------Soundtrack (in order):(Intro/outro) "Il cielo in una stanza" - Mina"Theme from Black Orpheus" - Paul Desmond"Matswale" - Caiphus Semenya"Playful Pizzicato" - Benjamin Britten"Ameriqués" - Edgard Varése"Yègélle Tezeta" - Mulatu Astatke"Waltz Nr. 2" - Dmitri Shostakovich"Hell on Earth" - KAS:ST"Nagmusiek" - Arnold van Wyk"No hay Problema" - Pink Martini"The Thieving Magpie" - Gioachino Rossini"Process (Introduction)" - Silent Servant"Giya" - Maphorisa & Clap ft.
