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.

This book assesses South African history within imperial and global networks of power, trade and communication. South African modernity is understood in terms of the interplay between internal and external forces. Key historical themes, including the emergence of an industrialised economy, the development of systematic racial discrimination and popular resistance against racial power, and the influence of national and ethnic identities on political and social organisation, are set out in relation to imperial and global influences. This book is central to our understanding of South Africa in the context of world history.

Providing a much-needed antidote to recent revisionist attempts to 'rehabilitate' apartheid, this major new text by a leading authority offers a considered and substantive reassessment of the nature, endurance and significance of apartheid in South Africa as well as the reasons for its dramatic collapse. Paying particular attention to the international dimension as well as the domestic, the author assesses the impact of anti-apartheid protest, of changing attitudes of Western governments to the apartheid regime and the evolution of South African government policies to the outside world.

The universal jubilation that greeted Nelson Mandela's inauguration as president of South Africa in 1994 and the process by which the nightmare of apartheid had been banished is one of the most thrilling, hopeful stories in the modern era: peaceful, rational change was possible and, as with the fall of the Berlin Wall, the weight of an oppressive history was suddenly lifted. R.W. Johnson's major new book tells the story of South Africa from that magic period to the bitter disappointment of the present. As it turned out, it was not so easy for South Africa to shake off its past. The profound damage of apartheid meant there was not an adequate educated black middle class to run the new state and apartheid had done great psychological harm too, issues that no amount of goodwill could wish away. Equally damaging were the new leaders, many of whom had lived in exile or in prison for much of their adult lives and who tried to impose decrepit, Eastern Bloc political ideas on a world that had long moved on. This disastrous combination has had a terrible impact - it poisoned everything from big business to education to energy utilities to AIDS policy to relations with Zimbabwe. At the heart of the book lies the ruinous figure of Thabo Mbeki, whose over-reaching ambitions led to catastrophic failure on almost every front. But, as Johnson makes clear, Mbeki may have contributed more than anyone else to bringing South Africa close to "failed state" status, but he had plenty of help.

“Heartbreaking and inspiring,” Nelson Mandela’s Prison Letters reveals his evolution “into one of the great moral heroes of our time” (New York Times). First published to mark the centenary of Nelson Mandela’s birth, The Prison Letters of Nelson Mandela sparked celebrations around the globe for one of the “greatest warriors of all time” (O, The Oprah Magazine). Featuring 94 letters selected from that landmark collection, as well as six new letters that have never been published, this historic paperback provides an essential political history of the late twentieth century and illustrates how Mandela maintained his inner spirit while imprisoned. Whether they’re longing love letters to his wife, Winnie; heartrending notes to his beloved children; or articulations of a human-rights philosophy that resonates today, these letters reveal the heroism of a man who refused to compromise his moral values in the face of extraordinary human punishment, invoking a “story beyond their own words” (New York Times). This new paperback edition—essential for any literature lover, political activist, and student—positions Mandela among the most inspiring historical figures of the twentieth century.

During the second half of the twentieth century, various artists and activists sought to educate and influence the American public about the institutionalized oppressive system of segregationist policies and white supremacy that was practiced in South Africa. "Art against Apartheid" explores ways that artist-activists and their artworks contributed to anti-apartheid solidarity networks and activism in the United States from the late 1940s to the mid-1960s. Special attention is paid to the ways that art, both its production and the artwork itself, fostered solidarity between transnational activist communities. Connections between Americans and South Africans, together struggling for liberation movements in South Africa, are traced and analyzed. Activist and artist memoirs, organizational documents, print media, popular culture materials, and various artworks reveal how anti-apartheid art contributed to alternative ideologies about Africa and black Africans; provided new cultural and political spaces for activists; helped to foster activist networks in an international arena; and inspired artists and activists to sustain activist efforts. The dissertation is based on the premise that scholars should study cultural production while examining the international struggle against apartheid because artists and activists deploying art helped to forge the necessary foundations and solidarity networks that made it possible for events in South Africa to resonate in the United States. The study argues that art proved a fruitful avenue for activists in at least two ways. First, art helped to make transformations possible by providing alternative images and narratives. Art, in other words, functioned as a tool for creating knowledge and public persuasion. Second, art helped build a movement, created solidarity networks, and sustained a movement culture. It also helped to create a supportive base and to foster solidarity in a transnational arena. Following the introductory chapter, this dissertation is divided into five chapters and a conclusion. The chapters are organized chronologically to illustrate the transformation of a movement within the United States which grew from a handful of concerned individuals to an outpouring of support. The first two chapters provide a foundation for the dissertation by focusing on discussion related to political and cultural context and the emergence of international anti-apartheid activism, including that which developed in the United States. The third, fourth, and fifth chapters examine the work of specific artist-activists and activists deploying art against apartheid during the late 1940s and into the 1960s. For instance, "Chapter Three" illustrates how Alan Paton's novel Cry, the Beloved Country (1948), acted as a precursor for the growth of anti-apartheid support and provided alternative ideologies about black South Africans. Furthermore, "Chapter Four" investigates the work of George Houser, Mary-Louise Hooper, and Lionel Rogosin, who went to South Africa during the era of the Treason Trial and returned to the U.S. with anti-apartheid messages. In chapter five, the work of exiled South Africans, including Miriam Makeba and Dennis Brutus, and their collaboration with American activists like Harry Belafonte and organizations such as the American Committee on Africa (ACOA) and the United Nations (UN) is examined. The conclusion discusses how early anti-apartheid artist-activists and activists inspired and connected by art built foundations making it possible for anti-apartheid activism in the United States to gain popular support.
