1 the African Dimension to the Anti-Federation Struggle, C.1950-53
‘It has united us far more closely than any other question would have accomplished’.1 The African Dimension to the Anti-Federation Struggle, c.1950-53 The documentary record of African opposition to the C[entral] A[frican] F[ederation] has been the subject renewed historiographical interest in recent years.2 This paper seeks to contribute to the existing debate in three principle ways. Firstly, it will be shown that opposition to the scheme was fatally undermined by the pursuit of two very distinct strands of N[yasaland] A[frican] C[ongress] and A[frican] N[ational] C[ongress] political activism. This dissimilar political discourse produced contradictions that resulted in the bypassing African objections. In the third instance, the paper will go a step further, suggesting that the two respective anti-Federation campaigns not only undermined Congress efforts to stop federation, but laid the path for future discord in the national dispensation then materialising. In 1988, John Darwin wrote that ‘with its telescope clapped firmly to its ear, London declared that [African] opposition [to Federation] could be neither seen nor heard’.3 The well-worn historiographical path points to the fact that African opposition was effectively ignored on the basis that ‘partnership’ between white settlers and black Africans in Northern and Southern Rhodesia and Nyasaland offered a strong rationale for the CAF. The requisite benefits arising would see the promotion of African economic opportunities, the placation of settler politicians seeking to reduce the influence of the Colonial Office and the preservation of British influence in the region.4 The utility of ‘partnership’ was in its ambiguity. -

Abstract This thesis uses evidence from British and international archives to examine the events leading up to Rhodesia’s Unilateral Declaration of Independence (UDI) on 11 November 1965 from the perspectives of Britain, the Old Commonwealth (Canada, Australia, and New Zealand), and the United States. Two underlying themes run throughout the thesis. First, it argues that although the problem of Rhodesian independence was highly complex, a UDI was by no means inevitable. There were courses of action that were dismissed or remained under explored (especially in Britain, but also in the Old Commonwealth, and the United States), which could have been pursued further and may have prevented a UDI. -

Flag of Defiance – the International Use of the Rhodesian Flag Following Udi
FLAG OF DEFIANCE – THE INTERNATIONAL USE OF THE RHODESIAN FLAG FOLLOWING UDI BRUCE BERRY University of Pretoria ([email protected] ; +27 82 909 5829) Abstract The international response to Rhodesia’s Unilateral Declaration of Independence (UDI) was to proclaim the colony to be in a state of rebellion, the government in Salisbury to be illegal, and to request the United Nations to apply sanctions against the ‘rebel regime’. The ensuing political impasse resulted in the need to promote a more distinctive national identity and the symbols to reflect this newfound independence. The first, and most obvious, change came with the adoption of a new national flag on the third anniversary of UDI on 11 November 1968. As the most visible symbol of post-UDI Rhodesia, the international use and display of the new flag became the subject of demonstration and controversy. This paper shows how the green and white Rhodesian flag came to highlight Rhodesia’s contested statehood when flown outside the country during the UDI period. Rhodesia’s new flag became a symbol of the country’s defiance, and the emotion it evoked, and continues to evoke, causes controversy even to this day. Keywords: Rhodesia, symbols, flags 1 1. INTRODUCTION After years of fruitless negotiations on the issue of independence, at 11 a.m. on 11 November 1965 (the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month) Rhodesian Prime Minister Ian Smith and his Cabinet signed a Proclamation of Independence from the British Parliament, whilst retaining loyalty to the person of the Monarch as the Queen of Rhodesia.1 The immediate response by the British Government to this Unilateral Declaration of Independence (UDI) was to proclaim Rhodesia to be in a state of rebellion, the Government in Salisbury to be illegal and to request the United Nations to apply sanctions against the ‘rebel regime’. -

Sir Roy could not represent the Sou+/-hem Rhodesian government in any off.cial way, His Federation _is breaking up and he will soon be a man without a job. But in spite of this he is still considered a power in politics here and his actions receive careful scrutiny. During the last 25 years he has worked his way through the "tough school of politics".. He ente*ed political life first as a union organizer and then head of the European Railwaymen's Union in Northern Rhodesia's cooprbel%. Over ten years ago he and sir Godfrey Huggins, Prime Ninister of Southern Rhodesia (later Lord Nalvern), together sold Britain on the idea of a federation of the three central African territories, Northern Rhodesia, Southern Rhodesia and Nyasaland. tle succeeded Lord hlalvern as Prime linister of the Federation in 1956. From the beei.ning Africans in Northern Rhodesia and Nyasaland, qhere there are very few Europeans, distrusted federation. ey saw Europeans in the three territories uniting to control their rising aspira- tions. -

Enactment of New Constitution Bill and Related Legislation. - British Government's Reaffirmation of Sanctions Policy
Keesing's Record of World Events (formerly Keesing's Contemporary Archives), Volume XVII, February, 1970 Rhodesia, Page 23810 © 1931-2006 Keesing's Worldwide, LLC - All Rights Reserved. Enactment of New Constitution Bill and Related Legislation. - British Government's Reaffirmation of Sanctions Policy. - Rhodesian Espionage Trials. - Other Developments. Following the result of the referendum of June 20, 1969, on the Smith regime's proposals for a Republic and a new Constitution [see 23474 A], the Rhodesian Legislative Assembly passed in November 1969 four Bills, including the Constitution Bill proper. Mr. Smith had told the Legislative Assembly on Sept. 3 that there would be no formal declaration of a Republic and that in any case the new status could not come into effect until the electorate had accepted the proposed Constitution at a general election, which would probably be held early in 1970. The regime, he added, had considered proclaiming Nov. 11, the anniversary of U.D.I., as Republic Day, but this had been rejected because that day was already an Independence Day holiday. However, from 1970 Republic Day would be observed as a holiday on the second last Monday in October. The Constitution Bill, published on Sept. 11, while incorporating the basic White Paper proposals of May 21 [see 23474 A], provided in addition that the Head of State and Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces would be a President appointed by the Cabinet for not more than two five-year terms with limited constitutional powers.

However, the author makes no attempt to examine the educational policies or institutions of the individual territories or countries, except as they have affected the development of international cooperation. Individual chapters examine the nature of the modern Commonwealth, educational policy during the imperial period, educational cooperation in the Commonwealth since 1945, adult education in the Commonwealth, higher education in the Commonwealth, the use of instructional media in the Commonwealth, and international relations between the Commonwealth and other nations.
