Apartheid Photographer

     This article by CNN's Errol Barnett offers a look into the life of one of Africa's most distinguished photographers, David Goldblatt. He is followed through as he captures images of the African Apartheid  and the havoc that it wrecks on the working class. His images show the purposeful and designed poverty of the Apartheid system.


     Through his moving images we see the direct results of extractive political institutions and the resulting brutally uneven distribution of wealth and power that comes along with them. Sadly, A&R's idea of persistence has been exemplified in the long existence of the Apartheid until 1994, from which point the political and economic imbalance has largely persisted.
