Foreword The story of the Soweto Revolt has in the first instance to tell what happened, and how. And because all revolts have their origin in events, both remote and recent, I am indebted to the many sources from which I was able to borrow books, pamphlets and documents, There would have been little point in even commencing this study if it had not been for the International University Exchange Fund's distribution of documents, reprinted in Geneva after being banned in South Africa. Added to the material collected together in the annual Survey of Race Relations in South Africa, and the four annual Black Reviews, from 1972 through to 197, the events of the 970 began to unfold.

  • Winkie Direko-A Political Leader in Her Own Right?
    JOERNAAL/JOURNAL TWALA/BARNARD WINKIE DIREKO-A POLITICAL LEADER IN HER OWN RIGHT? Chitja Twala* and Leo Barnard** 1. INTRODUCTION To record merely that Winkie Direko, present premier of the Free State Province, was born on 27 November 1929 in Bochabela (Mangaung) and to an average family, will be an inadequate prelude to assessing her community and political life, which had an impact on her political career. Her entry into full-time party politics after the April 1994 first non-racial democratic election in South Africa caused a great stir in the Free State Province, and no one ever expected that she would rise to the premiership position after June 1999. This article attempts to provide an accurate, scientific and historical assessment of Direko as a political leader in her own right amid serious criticisms levelled against her before and after her appointment as the province's premier. The article, however, does not tend to adopt a defensive stance for Direko, but rather to answer a repeatedly asked question in the political circles of the Free State Province on whether Direko is a political leader or not. The article extends beyond narrowly held views that Direko emerged to promi- nence after she had been inaugurated as the province's second woman premier in 1999. In the political arena, some critics within the ruling African National Congress (ANC) in the Free State Province claim that there is no testimonial that can more aptly describe her political leadership role. The fact that she occupied the premiership position for almost five years unlike her predecessors is testimony enough that she is a political leader in her own right.

  • 2001 Lecture
    THE JAMES BACKHOUSE LECTURE 2001 RECONCILING OPPOSITES: REFLECTIONS ON PEACEMAKING IN SOUTH AFRICA Hendrik W van der Merwe The James Backhouse Lectures The lectures were instituted by Australia Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) on the its establishment of that Yearly Meeting in 1964. James Backhouse and his companion, George Washington Walker were English Friends who visited Australia from 1832 to 1838. They travelled widely, but spent most of their time in Tasmania. It was through their visit that Quaker Meetings were first established in Australia. Coming to Australia under a concern for the conditions of convicts, the two men had access to people with authority in the young colonies, and with influence in Britain, both in Parliament and in the social reform movement. In meticulous reports and personal letters, they made practical suggestions and urged legislative action on penal reform, on the rum trade, and on land rights and the treatment of Aborigines. James Backhouse was a general naturalist and a botanist. He made careful observations and published full accounts of what he saw, in addition to encouraging Friends in the colonies and following the deep concern that had brought him to Australia. Australian Friends hope that this series of Lectures will bring fresh insights into the Truth, and speak to the needs and aspirations of Australian Quakerism. This particular lecture was delivered in Melbourne on 8 January 2001, during the annual meeting of the Society.

A reading of his work reveals that the one constant in his life in letters was the struggle to reconcile the apparent logical antithesis of universalism and particu­ larism, which this dissertation sees as one with resonance for all ethnic minorities. In the Chapter One, a general orientation in the modern Jewish world is provided, including the traditional worlds of Orthodoxy and Hasidism into which he was born; the trend toward the political emancipation of the Jews in Western and Central Europe and the subsequent waves of assimilation among young Jews; the exacerbation of antisemitic tendencies in both Eastern and Western Europe; the emergence of Jewish

  • Sometimes Going Home for the Weekend to Visit the Folks Is a Little
    arts&entertainraent THREAD Sometimes going home for the weekend to visit the folks is a little tense, but you can bet that it’s not as intense as Clyde Owens’ trip home to rural North Carolina in Jonathan Bolt's Threads. Threads, the‘first of two plays this quarter presented by the Dramatic Arts Department, is a family drama about the homecoming of a less-than- successful Hollywood actor to the mill town he grew up in. As with most contemporary dramas, the famlily reunion develops into a series of con­ frontations and introspection. Director William Glover calls it an old-fashioned, simple play that is as warm and humorous as it is dramatic. Glover, a guest lecturer in the department of Dramatic Art, comes to UCSB as a professional, having directed at the Mark Taper Forum and played the voice of Winston in Disney’s Oliver and Company. His best summation of Threads was, "it’s en­ tertaining.” "When you go to the theater you go to be en­ tertained,” said Glover. “Its the opposite of television. TV says ‘don’t get involved’ ... theater says 'please come, please think.’ When you leave, the experience has made you richer.” Threads may not be a great piece of art, but it’s not TV. The play rises from the depths of mere en­ tertainment by tapping into a raw nerve of human experience: family. The Owens family draws the personal life of playwright Bolt, who knew fir­ sthand the hardship of working in a textile mill and interacting in a rural family.

  • The Social Forum-Process; Tendencies and Features
    The Social forum-process; tendencies and features Niklas Hansson [email protected], [email protected] Department of Ethnology Gothenburg University Etnologiska Institutionen Göteborgs Universitet Paper från ACSIS nationella forskarkonferens för kulturstudier, Norrköping 13–15 juni 2005. Konferensrapport publicerad elektroniskt på www.ep.liu.se/ecp/015/. © Författaren. Introduction This piece of writing is concerned with contemporary politics, primarily focused on the World Social Forum, and the ongoing political process that I would like to refer to as the Social Forum-process. My point of entry as it comes down to this particular political process and my research, is the local “offspring” called the Gothenburg Social Forum. A Social Forum cannot be conceived of as the representation of a movement (a particular social movement and its’ repertoires and proposals), rather, the Charter of Principles1 (the document that “guides” this process) and some of the initiators of this political invention, proclaims it to be more like an open meeting place, for reflective thinking, democratic debate of ideas, formulation of proposals, free exchange of experiences, and interlinking for effective action by groups and movements of civil society that are opposed to neoliberalism and to domination of the world by capital and any other form of imperialism and are committed to building a planetary society directed toward fruitful relationships […]2 – or that of a communicational and informational space. The Social Forum-process, the process that was set off into the world (if you look by datum) through the stimulation of what is called the World Social Forum’s Charter of Principles and which was launched during the first World Social Forum in Porto Alegre in the year of 2001 as an effect stemming from these efforts.
