The concept of apartheid has significance far beyond the situation in South Africa which coined the term. Indeed, the concept can be generalized to apply to the present world situation. It provides both a better understanding of the present human condition and more effective guidelines for action to change it. The processes of interdependence, interpenetration and intercommunication in the present era have made the entire humanity into one global society. The present nation-state system, which obscures the appearance of this society, fails miserably in responding to the concerns and needs of the global community. The concept of global apartheid provides a more realistic and comprehensive view of the world and suggests appropriate ways of so acting as to make a beginning toward realizing a just, participatory, peaceful and humane global society.

Until a few years ago the term "racism" seemed to have a fairly precise meaning. It meant the attribution of various forms of social inferiority or superiority to certain groups of people by virtue of their biological makeup. In its more developed and systematic form, racism was a theory of genetic determination postulating a causal link between the physical appearance (phenotype) of people and their social behavior and attitudes. While ethnocentrism (preference for one's own culture) is universal, racism is exceptional, though not unique, to Western cultures. The overwhelming power and wealth of Western societies, however, made Western racism by far the most widespread and violent strain of the virus.

Oregon Anti-Apartheid Scrapbook
The Oregon Anti-Apartheid Scrapbook is made up of newspaper clippings assembled by OSU history department faculty member Ed Ferguson. Ferguson, a specialist in African history, served as an associate professor in the history department from 1979-1991. The scrapbook documents the protest and educational campaign led by the OSU African Students Association (ASA) in response to wrestling coach Dale Thomas' association with the South African wrestling community. Thomas' hosting of visiting South African coaches and proposed team tour of the country drew fire because of an international ban upon competition with South African athletes as a protest of the racist apartheid political system. Taken primarily from the OSU Barometer, the Corvallis Gazette-Times, and The Oregonian newspapers, these clippings include editorials about the campaign, articles about campaign presentations sponsored by the ASA on apartheid, and stories about public campus forums about the topic. The clippings date from 1980-1982 and include letters to the editor by Ferguson and stories about his involvement in the forums. Entitled "Enforcing the International Sports Boycott of South Africa at OSU: News Clippings from the Struggle" the scrapbook is a photocopy of the original which is a part of the Oregon Anti-Apartheid Files currently described as part of the African Activist Archives Project at Michigan State University.
