From Shantytown to Forest
Racial Prejudice and Economic Pragmatism
Race relations have become one of the most sensitive of international issues. They have been transformed from the domestic concern of single countries to a matter of world concern. The story of this transformation is almost too well-known for comment. It grew from a massive revulsion against fascist racialism, the decline of white dominance, the emergence of new states from colonial empires, and the growing dependence of developed countries on th…
From Protest to Challenge. A Documentary History of African Politics in South Africa 1882-1964
The Armed Bureaucrats
Pen, Sword, and People
Bureaucrats perceive politics bureaucratically. They would wish it to be an orderly process. Therefore, when officers of “new” or “developing” nations take power, they seek to legitimize the administrative state. Their model is bureaucracy, but government and administration are found to be very different from the model. Organization does not meet all problems; neither does the issuance of “the right orders.” The goals of administration cannot be …

Urban Revolt in South Africa
Thisarticle has as its theme the organisation of an African urban revolt in South Africa from 1960 to 1965. Reference is made mainly to events in Port Elizabeth and its near neighbour, East London; it need hardly be added that there were similar developments in other parts of the country. The way in which the revolt was organised was little reported at the time, and the details emerged only in the verbatim court records of the trials of both lead…
African Opposition in South Africa
"The Rule of the "Iron Surgeons
Beset by seemingly insoluble problems, and lacking belief in the ability or will of those in power to solve them, a country may welcome a man who seizes power with the pose of a hero and offers a cure for the ills of the polity. He is, it seems, in Joaquin Costa's words, [the man] of to perform the drastic surgery needed to amputate the gangrenous elements of the existing system.'1 Yet, despite their claims, the iron surgeons have seldom been abl…
Military Coups and Political Development
Are the military coups that have shaken Africa recently simply a working-out of personal animosities, are they due to chance, or are they the result of something inherent in the very nature of present-day African political systems? It is to questions such as these that this article is addressed, and to which it seeks to provide tentative answers. Further, if, as will be argued here, the African coups result from something inherently systemic, wha…
