The Politics of Race in Britain and South Africa
The postwar government of South Africa, led by H.F. Verwoerd, implemented wide-ranging racial segregation laws, beginning the open policy of apartheid in one of Africa's most prosperous and internationally influential states. During the apartheid era, the British government faced an uneasy dilemma: while repudiating apartheid laws it maintained an ambiguous stance towards the South African government. As black South African's were reduced to the status of non-citizens after the 1970 Citizenship Act, increasing numbers of exiles and fugitives were finding refuge in Britain, which was now home to a growing anti-apartheid protest movement. This is the first book to examine the British support f...
The Road to Democracy in South Africa 4 Part 3
The Road to Democracy in South Africa, Volume 4, Part 3 addresses the previously neglected and undermined voices of black scholars, researchers, and public intellectuals. The publication also ensures that oppressed voices of the majority of our population are at the centre of the historic narrative. Volume 4 Part 3 tackles the debate on whether the real locality of the struggle for liberation in South Africa was urban or rural and comes to the conclusion that it was indeed a national struggle and that it permeated all parts of the country. Included in the volume are chapters by Marepo Lesetja, who analyses the often neglected struggle for liberation in what was then the Far Northern Transvaa...
Decolonisation and Regional Geopolitics
Decolonisation and Regional Geopolitics argues that as much as the ‘Congo crisis’ (1960-1965) was a Cold War battleground, so too was it a battleground for Southern Africa’s decolonisation. This book provides a transnational history of African decolonisation, apartheid diplomacy, and Southern African nationalist movements. It answers three central questions. First, what was the nature of South African involvement in the Congo crisis? Second, what was the rationale for this involvement? Third, how did South Africans perceive the crisis? Innovatively, the book shifts the focus on the Congo crisis away from Cold War intervention and centres it around African decolonisation and regional geopolitics.
A Global History of Anti-Apartheid
This book explores the global history of anti-apartheid and international solidarity with southern African freedom struggles from the 1960s. It examines the institutions, campaigns and ideological frameworks that defined the globalization of anti-apartheid, the ways in which the concept of solidarity was mediated by individuals, organizations and states, and considers the multiplicity of actors and interactions involved in generating and sustaining anti-apartheid around the world. It includes detailed accounts of key case studies from Europe, Asia, and Latin America, which illustrate the complex relationships between local and global agendas, as well as the diverse political cultures embodied in anti-apartheid. Taken together, these examples reveal the tensions and synergies, transnational webs and local contingencies that helped to create the sense of ‘being global’ that united worldwide anti-apartheid campaigns.
The Cold War in the Classroom
This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This book explores how the socially disputed period of the Cold War is remembered in today’s history classroom. Applying a diverse set of methodological strategies, the authors map the dividing lines in and between memory cultures across the globe, paying special attention to the impact the crisis-driven age of our present has on images of the past. Authors analysing educational media point to ambivalence, vagueness and contradictions in textbook narratives understood to be echoes of societal and academic controversies. Others focus on teachers and the history classroom, showing how unresolved political issues create tensions in history education. They render visible how teachers struggle to handle these challenges by pretending that what they do is ‘just history’. The contributions to this book unveil how teachers, backgrounding the political inherent in all memory practices, often nourish the illusion that the history in which they are engaged is all about addressing the past with a reflexive and disciplined approach.
The Road to Democracy in South Africa
The third volume in the series examines the role of anti-apartheid movements around the world and their success in both creating awareness of the liberation struggle in South Africa, and in contributing to the downfall of the apartheid government. This volume, in two parts, brings together analysis written by activist scholars with deep roots in the movements and organisations they are writing about. This first part focuses on International Solidarity with the liberation struggle. It covers the contribution of various international organisations, governments and their peoples, and solidarity organisations, to the liberation struggle in South Africa. In particular, the roles of nine western E...

Southern African Liberation Struggles
Les volumes 1 à 5 se concentrent sur les guerres de libération en Angola, au Mozambique, en Namibie, en Afrique du Sud et au Zimbabwe. Les volumes 5 à 7 relatent les expériences vécues dans les États de la ligne de front (Botswana, Tanzanie et Zambie) et dans les "pays d'extension" (Lesotho, Malawi et Swaziland). À chaque fois, un chapitre historico-analytique est suivi d'une longue section d'histoires personnelles, non seulement en anglais, mais aussi en portugais (Mozambique), en swahili (Tanzanie) et en shona (Zimbabwe). Les deux derniers volumes se concentrent sur les pays et les organisations internationales - à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur de l'Afrique - qui ont sympathisé avec les mouvements de libération et les ont soutenus de diverses manières.
