The transition to democracy in South Africa was one of the defining events in twentieth-century political history. The South African women’s movement is one of the most celebrated on the African continent. Shireen Hassim examines interactions between the two as she explores the gendered nature of liberation and regime change. Her work reveals how women’s political organizations both shaped and were shaped by the broader democratic movement. Alternately asserting their political independence and giving precedence to the democratic movement as a whole, women activists proved flexible and remarkably successful in influencing policy. At the same time, their feminism was profoundly shaped by the context of democratic and nationalist ideologies. In reading the last twenty-five years of South African history through a feminist framework, Hassim offers fresh insights into the interactions between civil society, political parties, and the state. Hassim boldly confronts sensitive issues such as the tensions between autonomy and political dependency in feminists’ engagement with the African National Congress (ANC) and other democratic movements, and black-white relations within women’s organizations. She offers a historically informed discussion of the challenges facing feminist activists during a time of nationalist struggle and democratization. Winner, Victoria Schuck Award for best book on women and politics, American Political Science Association “An exceptional study, based on extensive research. . . . Highly recommended.”—Choice “A rich history of women’s organizations in South African . . . . [Hassim] had observed at first hand, and often participated in, much of what she described. She had access to the informants and private archives that so enliven the narrative and enrich the analysis. She provides a finely balanced assessment.”—Gretchen Bauer, African Studies Review

Women's Activism in South Africa provides the most comprehensive collection of women's experiences within civil society since the 1994 transition. This book captures South African women's stories of collective activism and social change at a crucial point for the future of democracy in the country, if not the continent. Pulling together the voices of activists and scholars, South Africa's path to democracy and the assurance of gender rights emerge as a complex journey of both successes and challenges. The collection elucidates a new form of pragmatic feminism, building upon the elasticity between the state and civil society. What the cases demonstrate is that while the state itself may not be a panacea, it still represents a key source of power and the primary locus of vital resources, including the rights of citizenship, access to basic needs, and the promise of protection from gender-based violence - all central to women's particular needs in South Africa.

THIS THESIS DEALS WITH CITIZENSHIP IN THE SOUTHERN AFRICAN REGION, DEFINED AS THE STATES COMPRISING THE SOUTH ERN AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT CONFERENCE (SADC), WITH THE EXCEPTION OF TANZANIA: ANGOLA, BOTSWANA, LETHOSSOTHO, MALAWI., MOZAMBIQUE, NAMIBIA, SOUTH AFRICA, SWAZILAND, ZAMBIA AND ZIMBABWE. IT EXTENDS FROM THE PRE-COLONIAL PERIOD THROUGH TO THE MID-1990'S AND ARGUES THAT CITIZENSHIP THROUGHOUT HAS BEEN AND REMAINS HIGHLY RESTRICTED FOR WOMEN IN COMPARISON WITH MEN. THIS HAS OCCURRED THROUGH REGIONALLY SPECIFIC HISTORICAL GENDER RELATUONS COMPOUNDED BY POST-INDEPENDENCE REGIMES. IT FURTHER ARGUES THAT CONTEMPORARY CITIZENSHIP IN SOUTHERN AFRICA MUST BE VIEWED THROUGH A GENDERED PERSPECTIVE WHICH GOES BEYOND THE FORMAL AND LEGISLATIVE TO THE REALM OF 'EXPERIENCED CITIZENSHIP'. THIS IS DONE THROUGH CASE STUDIES OF WOMEN'S ORGANISATIONS INVOLVED IN THE POLITICAL PROCESS IN SOUTH AFRICA, ZAMBIA AND MOZAMBIQUE, WITHIN A COMPARATIVE FRAMEWORK.
