Trevor is ‘News’”
Celebrity culture was a crucial, though unrecognised, component of the early anti-apartheid struggle. Between 1948 and the foundation of the Anti-Apartheid Movement (AAM) in Britain in 1960, activists discovered celebrity to be a valuable political tool. The strategic use of celebrity secured media coverage, mobilised support for the struggle, and built a transnational network of activists and collaborative institutions. By analysing celebrity as…
Celebrity and Protest in the Anti-Apartheid Movement
This special issue proposes to juxtapose accounts of anti-apartheid protest and solidarity efforts with the field of celebrity studies in order to deepen our understanding of both through their conjunction.

The Program’s special fund for liberation movements signaled a shift from verbal protest against apartheid to actions …

The paper argues that the debate p…

The sixteen-month journey received close newspaper coverage both in South Africa and in Britain. This coverage and the spin-off products of the expedition, among them a travelogue film, a written memoir, and …
