Padayachee and Van Niekerk focus on the primary question of how and why the ANC, given its historical egalitarian, redistributive stance, did such a dramatic about-face in the 1990s and moved towards an essentially market-dominated approach. Was it pushed or did it go willingly? What role, if any, did Western governments and international financial institutions play?

In Out of the Dark Night, he offers a rich analysis of the paradoxes of the postcolonial moment that points toward new liberatory models of community and humanity. In a nuanced consideration of the African experience, Mbembe makes sweeping interventions into debates about citizenship, identity, democracy and modernity.

He outlines how democracy has begun to embrace its dark side, or what he calls its ‘nocturnal body,’ which is based on the desires, fears, affects, relations, and violence that drove colonialism.

  • Boycotts and Sanctions Against South Africa: an International History, 1946-1970
    Boycotts and Sanctions against South Africa: An International History, 1946-1970 Simon Stevens Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Simon Stevens All rights reserved ABSTRACT Boycotts and Sanctions against South Africa: An International History, 1946-1970 Simon Stevens This dissertation analyzes the role of various kinds of boycotts and sanctions in the strategies and tactics of those active in the struggle against apartheid in South Africa. What was unprecedented about the efforts of members of the global anti-apartheid movement was that they experimented with so many ways of severing so many forms of interaction with South Africa, and that boycotts ultimately came to be seen as such a central element of their struggle. But it was not inevitable that international boycotts would become indelibly associated with the struggle against apartheid. Calling for boycotts and sanctions was a political choice. In the years before 1959, most leading opponents of apartheid both inside and outside South Africa showed little interest in the idea of international boycotts of South Africa. This dissertation identifies the conjuncture of circumstances that caused this to change, and explains the subsequent shifts in the kinds of boycotts that opponents of apartheid prioritized. It shows that the various advocates of boycotts and sanctions expected them to contribute to ending apartheid by a range of different mechanisms, from bringing about an evolutionary change in white attitudes through promoting the desegregation of sport, to weakening the state’s ability to resist the efforts of the liberation movements to seize power through guerrilla warfare.

  • Van Rensburg, Patrick (1931– ), South African Educator and Social Activist, Was Born in Durban, Natal, South Africa, on 3
    Van Rensburg, Patrick (1931– ), South African educator and social activist, was born in Durban, Natal, South Africa, on 3 December 1931. His mother was Cecile Marie-Louise van Rensburg née Lagesse, the daughter of an Afrikaner mother and a French planter; his father was Peter Maxwell, an English- speaking South African whose family forbade himto marry Cecile. The boy Patrick spent much of his childhood in Pietermaritzburg in the care of his grandmother, Susanna Marie Largesse née Louwrens. Her family had been forced into a British concentration camp following the Boer War, a story that she often told. A Catholic by marriage, she raised Patrick in the Catholic Church as well. Communication at home was conducted in a mix- ture of English, French, Afrikaans, and Zulu. Although poverty prevented him from attending college, he threw himself into correspondence courses and earned a BA from the University of South Africa (UNISA). As he frequently remarked later, his youthful experiences closely reflected the deep divisions in South Africa as a whole. At the age of twenty-one, van Rensburg joined the Department of External Affairs; in February 1956 he was appointed vice-consul to the then-Belgian Congo. Fellow diplomats introduced him to Western humanism and antiracial ideals, even as his own government enacted apartheid. He resigned his post fifteen months later. Upon reflection, van Rensburg entered politics and began to organize for the nonracial Liberal Party, displaying leadership beyond his years. In 1959 he traveled to Britain and unexpectedly helped launch the Boycott Movement against his own country’s racial policies.

  • Theatre in a New Democracy
    THEATRE IN A NEW DEMOCRACY Some major trends in South African theatre from 1994 to 2003 Johann van Heerden Dissertation presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Drama and Theatre Studies) at the University of Stellenbosch Promoter: Prof. T. Hauptfleisch March 2008 2 DECLARATION I, the undersigned, hereby declare that the work contained in this dissertation is my own original work and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it at any university for a degree. Signature: ..................................................... Date: ............................................ Johann van Heerden Copyright ©2008 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved 3 Abstract Following the socio-political change in South Africa after the democratic elections of 1994 the relationship between the state and the arts changed markedly. Whereas, under apartheid, the white population groups benefited greatly from government support for the primarily Eurocentric cultural heritage and the arts, the new South Africa recognised a multi-cultural and multi-lingual population whose every human right was protected under the new Constitution. Under the new government priorities shifted and this resulted in a transformation of the state-subsidised Performing Arts Councils and generally in the financial dynamics of the arts and culture sector. During the first decade of democracy an arts festival circuit emerged which provided opportunities for specific population groups to celebrate their cultural heritage and also for new independent theatre-makers to enter the industry. After the demise of apartheid there was no longer a market for the protest theatre that had become a hallmark of much South African performing arts in the 1970s and 80s and the creative artists had to discover new areas of focus and find alternative creative stimuli.

  • NOTES on the ORIGINS of the MOVEMENT for SANCTIONS AGAINST SOUTH AFRICA1 -.:: GEOCITIES.Ws
    February 1965 NOTES ON THE ORIGINS OF THE MOVEMENT FOR SANCTIONS AGAINST SOUTH AFRICA1 [Note: This paper deals with the developments until November 6, 1962, when the United Nations General Assembly adopted resolution 1761 (XVII) requesting Member States to impose sanctions against South Africa.] Introduction The international movement for sanctions against South Africa began in December 1958 when the All African Peoples' Conference in Accra called on all countries to impose economic sanctions against the Union of South Africa in protest against racial discrimination. In the same month, the African National Congress for South Africa, a sponsor of the Accra Conference, called for a nation- wide economic boycott of business houses dominated by the leading “Nationalists” (the racist ruling party). Boycott movements against South Africa - directed mainly at consumer boycott of South African products - sprung up in the United Kingdom and other Western countries. They were later to be transformed into anti-apartheid movements with wider objectives. The movement in South Africa, in Africa and in the West led after the Sharpeville massacre to proposals in the United Nations for sanctions against South Africa. The Boycott Movement in South Africa The call for an economic boycott was advanced in South Africa in 1957 when the Nationalist regime had closed most legal avenues for the African people and opponents of apartheid. The nation-wide arrest of 156 leaders of the movement in December 1956, the institution of the notorious Treason Trial, which lasted until after the Sharpeville massacre, the restriction of political leaders and the banning of meetings left the ANC and its allies with few possibilities of legal action.

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.
