Definition
- Segregation is the policy of imposing social separation of races, especially as practiced against nonwhites in a white-dominated society. South Africa's fifty-year policy of apartheid, which finally ended in 1994, placed severe restrictions on its African, Indian, and mixed-race inhabitants, such as where they could live and work.
