... an Afrikaans word meaning "apartness", the state of being separate or segregated. It is the name given by the Afrikaner Nationalist Party, in office in South Africa after 1948, to the policies that govern relations between the country's 3,000,000 white inhabitants and its 12,000,000 nonwhite, mainly African, inhabitants.
