Download or read book Nous avons combattu l apartheid written by Jacqueline Dérens and published by Non Lieu Editions. This book was released on 2006 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La passion pour l'Afrique du Sud et la lutte de son peuple contre le régime d'apartheid est au coeur de ce livre. Mêlant travail de mémoire, mais aussi analyse sur la réalité de ce système qualifié de crime contre l'humanité, l'auteure brosse les portraits des militants et responsables de l'ANC et du SACP, en particulier celui de Dulcie September, assassinée à Paris en mars 1988, au côté de laquelle elle a milité. Des souvenirs, des photographies, mais aussi des documents inédits montrent comment, pendant la guerre froide, les pays occidentaux, et la France en particulier, ont soutenu aveuglément un régime raciste et meurtrier qui se prétendait le dernier rempart contre le communisme et le terrorisme sur le continent africain. Ce livre témoigne de la réussite sans précédent d'une lutte acharnée contre l'injustice et l'oppression et de la montée en puissance d'un soutien populaire qui a forcé les gouvernements, en France comme ailleurs, à un revirement stratégique et à recevoir triomphalement Nelson Mandela, l'ancien prisonnier politique accusé de sabotage et de haute trahison...
Download or read book Apartheid and Anti Apartheid in Western Europe written by Knud Andresen and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-12-12 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection examines how Western European countries have responded and been influenced by the apartheid system in South Africa. The debate surrounding apartheid in South Africa underwent a shift in the second half of the 20th century, with long held positive, racist European opinions of white South Africans slowly declining since decolonisation in the 1960s, and the increase in the importance of human rights in international politics. While previous studies have approached this question in the context of national histories, more or less detached from each other, this edited collection offers a broader insight into the transnational and entangled histories of Western European and South African societies. The contributors use exemplary case studies to trace the change of perception, covering a plurality of reactions in different societies and spheres: from the political and social, to the economic and cultural. At the same time, the collection emphasizes the interconnections of those reactions to what has been called the last ‘overtly racist regime’ (George Frederickson) of the twentieth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 European countries are discussed: West Germany; Belgium; Austria; France; The Netherlands; Portugal; Spain; Greece and Switzerland. The second part focuses on African solidarity, with an emphasis on the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) and its Liberation Committee; various countries in the southern African region, including the role that Tanzania and Zambia played; as well as countries in west, east and North Africa. This is a major resource for historians, scholars and anyone interested in the history of South Africa, and will be valued by future generations for its sensitive collection of highly significant historical material.

Download or read book Chaka written by Thomas Mofolo and published by Waveland Press. This book was released on 2013-05-21 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chaka is a genuine masterpiece that represents one of the earliest major contributions of black Africa to the corpus of modern world literature. Mofolos fictionalized life-story account of Chaka (Shaka), translated from Sesotho by D. P. Kunene, begins with the future Zulu kings birth followed by the unwarranted taunts and abuse he receives during childhood and adolescence. The author manipulates events leading to Chakas status of great Zulu warrior, conqueror, and king to emphasize classic tragedys psychological themes of ambition and power, cruelty, and ultimate ruin. Mofolos clever nods to the supernatural add symbolic value. Kunenes fine translation renders the dramatic and tragic tensions in Mofolos tale palpable as the richness of the authors own culture is revealed. A substantial introduction by the translator provides valuable context for modern readers.

Download or read book Film As Ethnography written by Peter Ian Crawford and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 1992-11-15 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work examines the reasons why anthropologists have not used the camera as a research instrument or film as a means of communicating ethnographic knowledge. It suggests that images and words in this discipline operate on different logical levels; that they are hierarchically related; that whereas writings may encompass the images produced by film, the inverse of this cannot be true. The author argues for this position further by suggesting that the visual is to the written mode as "thin description" (giving a record of the form of behaviour) is to "thick description" (giving an account of meaning).

Download or read book Vanguard or Vandals written by Jon Abbink and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-11-29 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains a range of original studies on one of the major challenges in Africa today: the controversial role of youth in politics, conflict and rebellious movements. The issue is not only the drafting of child soldiers into insurgent armies or predatory militias, as in Somalia, Sierra Leone or Congo, but, more generally, that of the problematic insertion of large numbers of young people in the socio-economic and political order of post-colonial Africa. Even educated youths are being confronted with a lack of opportunities, blocked social mobility, and despair about the future. African youth, while forming a numerical majority, largely feel excluded from power, are socio-economically marginalized, thwarted in their ambitions, and have little access to representative positions or political power.
