Introduction
The Solidarity Economy
[no abstract]
A Global History of Anti-Apartheid
Youth Activism and Solidarity
Modern South Africa in World History
This book assesses South African history within imperial and global networks of power, trade and communication. South African modernity is understood in terms of the interplay between internal and external forces. Key historical themes, including the emergence of an industrialised economy, the development of systematic racial discrimination and popular resistance against racial power, and the influence of national and ethnic identities on politic…
Water Policy in a Time of Climate Change
The unpredictable impacts of climate change, combined with significant social and economic changes, mean that policy analysis is becoming inordinately more complex. Coping with this increasing complexity while engaging with a full range of stakeholders and the community requires a new approach to leadership and governance. Water planners (and others involved in the planning processes) need new skills in active listening and constructive cultural …
Ireland, Africa and the End of Empire
Bombs and Border Crossings
This article explores the engagement between European, African and US peace activists as a case-study of the transnational dimensions of decolonization. Its focus is the protest against the first French nuclear weapons test in the Sahara, and European activists’ involvement in subsequent international conferences in Ghana that sought to contest ‘nuclear imperialism’. The article assesses the limits of transnationalism when addressing interconnect…
Struggles on the Page
This article combines an overview of the historiography of antiapartheid movements with a case study of radical scholarship on South Africa in the 1960s. It highlights the ways that antiapartheid activism effectively framed public understanding of the idea of apartheid and its application in South Africa. Using the British African solidarity movement as an example, it addresses the mutually constitutive relationship between the antiapartheid move…
Humanitarianism and Empire
This article provides an introductory overview of themes raised in this special edition of the Journal of Imperial and Commonwealth History. We suggest that, while recent work such as Michael Barnett's Empire of Humanity has begun to explore the history of western humanitarianism, academic researchers can do more to address the intricate framework of relations between humanitarianism and empire, and that the history of humanitarianism can usefull…
South African Liberalism and ‘Friends of Africa’
During the inter-war years, segregation developed into an ideology of government that managed to be clearly defined, yet was diffuse enough in meaning to attract a wide body of support. It was often conceptualised as a kind of synthesis between older ideas of ‘equality’ (liberal humanitarians and their ‘civilising mission’) and ‘repression’ or ‘subordination’ (slavery and the social relations of the colonial ‘frontier tradition’). On the whole, i…
The Foundations of Anti-Apartheid
Anti-apartheid was one of the most significant international causes of the late twentieth century. The book provides the first detailed history of the emergence of anti-apartheid activism in Britain a
The Moral Foundations of British Anti-Apartheid Activism, 1946-1960
Recent studies have begun to sketch the history of the Anti-Apartheid Movement in Britain, providing a convincing framework for understanding the transnational nature of the movement and its significance within the emergence of a global civil society. This article expands upon this work by exploring aspects of the ideological and the moral framework around which anti-apartheid sentiment began to crystallise in Britain in the late 1950s. Drawing o…
