What role did this individual play in impacting events and how did he impact this time period?

The Annotated Bibliography assignment will take a look at Nelson Mandela and apartheid
Before you begin your research, review information on your individual by looking through “Research Starters”. This type of source is general information about your topic that will help you to learn more about them. Generally, these sources are reference materials and cannot be used in an academic assignment. The information can help you to refine your research question and narrow your subtopic.

When you complete this assignment keep in mind that you are expected to research in the library. You should NOT be Googling this topic and providing me with the information learned from an encyclopedia or History.com. I want to see what you learned about Nelson Mandela but I also want to see that you researched in a library!

Here are the questions that should be answered in your bibliography:

a. What role did this individual play in impacting events and how did he impact this time period?

b. How did his role impact individuals and groups that lived during this time period? 2.

Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela: Nelson Mandela fought against apartheid in South Africa. Although the minority of citizens were white, they would gain political power and enact a series of racist segregation. Despite being imprisoned for a total of 27 years, he would lead a successful campaign against this horrible practice of racism that existed in South Africa from 1948-1994. Mandla would eventually be successful and would serve as the first president of South Africa.
The second Unit Assignment asks that you complete an Annotated Bibliography on Nelson Mandela and apartheid. After you have reviewed information on Mandela you will complete library research and prepare an Annotated Bibliography formatted in APA Writing Style.

1. Preliminary Research: Although you MUST NOT use Wikipedia in your assignment, you can review your topic in here looking for basic information and key search terms to use in the library. After you have done some research, decide on a focus for Mandela. Be sure to read more about this in the topic choice module section.

2. Research in the Library

a. Find Two Scholarly Journal articles from the library using either JSTOR or EBSCO. These journals, also known as “Peer-Reviewed” articles should be no more than 10 years old. Your source should include the library citation.

b. Find Two Primary Sources using the primary source databases in the Valencia library or the Fordham University internet site. Remember that a primary source is from the time of the event. Please find at least one historical newspaper article from the time of the event. The library includes the NY Times Historical database.
