Ian Macqueen D.Phil candidate Department of History University of Sussex [email protected] 5 May 2010 Black Consciousness in Dialogue: Rick Turner, Stephen Biko and the Durban Moment, 1970-19741 This paper looks to suggest that the Durban Moment concretised the hiatus in the gradualism and moderate political reform envisioned by South African liberalism, which had initially been sparked by the breakaway of the South African Students Organisation (SASO) from the National Union of South African Students (NUSAS) in 1968. The Durban Moment confronted the need for radical change and in so doing entailed questioning the previously secure paradigm of paternalist custodianship of African grievances. The moment opened up the terrain of political thinking in South Africa and forced recourse to the demand for radical political change. It was this problem of change that formed the central theme in the contestations, debate and dialogue that were central aspects of the moment. Although the emergence of Black Consciousness in South Africa played a central causative role in challenging the white liberal world view, it was a moment that was mediated in part through interpersonal dialogue and friendship, in a few but significant instances, and through a refining of a political strategy, in the form of class theory.2 Historicising the collaboration that persisted after the formation of SASO is therefore a central concern of the paper. One of Biko’s contentions with the artificial interracial meetings organised by liberals was the way in which they acted as a panacea for both white and black, soothing the guilty conscience of the white liberal and encouraging the black person that they were in fact worthwhile and equal, but producing no tangible fruit.

Feedback: [email protected] The Life of Steve Bantu Biko by South African History Online This article was published on South African History OnlineSouth African History online (SAHO) is a non-partisan people’s history institution. It was established in June 2000 as a non-profit Section 21 organisation, to address the biased way in which South Africa’s history and heritage, as well as the history and heritage of Africa is represented in educational and cultural institutions. Abstract The article is a biography and tribute to Stephen (Steve) Bantu Biko who although was not alone in forging the Black Consciousness Movement (BCM); was nevertheless its most prominent leader, who with others guided the movement of student discontent into a political force unprecedented in the history of South Africa. Biko and his peers were responding to developments that emerged in the high phase of apartheid, when the Nationalist Party (NP), in power for almost two decades, was restructuring the country to conform to its policies of separate development. The NP went about untangling what little pockets of integration and proximity there were between White, Black, Coloured and Indian South Africans, by creating new residential areas, new parallel institutions such as schools, universities and administrative bodies, and indeed, new ‘countries’, the tribal homelands.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT This thesis focuses on the reorganisation in exile of the African National Congress (ANC) and Pan-Africanist Congress (PAC) of South Africa during the 1960s. The 1960s are generally regarded as a period of quiescence in the historiography of the South African liberation struggle. This study partially challenges such a view. It argues that although the 1960s witnessed the progressive silencing of all forms of opposition by the apartheid government in South Africa, this was also a difficult time of experimentation and change, during which the exiled liberation movements had to adjust to the dramatically altered conditions of struggle emerging in the post-Sharpeville context.

  • The National Liberation Heritage Route
    The National Liberation Heritage Route Paper presented at the Human Sciences Research Council’s Social Sciences and Humanities Conference, 26-27 September 2013 Birchwood Conference Centre, Johannesburg Gregory Houston, Nedson Pophiwa, Kombi Sausi, Sipisihle Dumisa and Dineo Seabe Introduction The South African National Heritage Council (NHC) identified the development and management of the legacy of the liberation struggle as an important aspect of heritage preservation in the country, and initiated the Liberation Heritage Route (LHR) project as one of the initiatives in this regard. This was in consequence of the adoption of Resolution 33C/29 by the Commission for Culture (Commission IV) of the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) at the latter’s 33rd General Conference in October 2005. Liberation struggle heritage was thereby recognised as being of universal value and significance. The raison d’etre for this resolution was premised on: . recognising African liberation heritage as a common heritage of shared global values (human rights, freedom, democracy, etc.); . promoting dialogue amongst nations and cultures; . developing and promoting a culture of peace; . contributing to the memory of the world; and . generating data and databases that raise awareness on the African liberation heritage. The LHR is intended to consist of a series of sites that express the key aspects of the South African liberation experience. These sites are linked together by a common historical narrative of the liberation struggle and experience, and consist of historical evidence of events and activities associated with the history of the struggle. Included among the sites of the LHR are the Wesleyan Church where the African National Congress (ANC) was formed in 1912, the Sharpeville Massacre, Lilliesleaf Farm, Johnny Makhathini’s House, the Langeberg Rebellion, the Bisho Massacre, and Victor Verster Prison.

  • The PAC's Changing Perception of African American Activists in The
    Stichproben. Wiener Zeitschrift für kritische Afrikastudien. No. 28/2015, Vol. 15, 123-147. “A natural alliance”? The PAC’s changing perception of African American activists in the 1960s and 1970s. An analysis of the Azania News. Harald Barre Abstract When the Pan Africanist Congress of South Africa (PAC) was founded in 1959, it outlined its idea of a pan-Africanism which encompassed the entire continent. However, Africans in the diaspora were not mentioned and did not appear to play a role, albeit, pioneers of pan-Africanism, such as W.E.B. DuBois, had clearly included African Americans in their definition of the ‘African people’. Within a year of its founding and the Sharpeville Massacre in 1960, the PAC was banned and had to re-establish itself in exile. At the same time, African American student activism was marked by an ideological turn towards Africa, most prominently known under the slogan ‘Black Power’. Based on analysis of the discourse in PAC publications, namely the Azania News, this article examines how, increased connections changed the PAC’s view of African Americans between the 1960s and 1970s, and seeks to identify obstacles that impeded such developments. 124 Stichproben Introduction “Another thing about PAC: they were young and daring. They were also deeply involved with the Black Consciousness movement (…) [which] was almost identical—in its analysis, goals, perspectives, and rhetoric—with the Black Power movement in the States, we had firm common ground there. So it was a natural alliance” (Ture; Thelwell 2003: 638). In these words, Kwame Ture (formerly known as Stokely Carmichael)1 describes his experience of meeting members of the Pan Africanist Congress of South Africa2 (PAC) in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania in 1967.

It argues that the dominant scholarly focus on Black Consciousness, which is passed over as a ‘stage’ in the Black struggle against white supremacy, insufficiently historicises the deeper roots, and the wider resonances and ideological contestations of the Black Consciousness movement.
