Untangling a complex revolutionary moment in South African Liberation History
Mozambique's Neglected Nationalists in Exile
Even though the Mozambique Revolutionary Committee (Coremo) was Mozambique’s second largest liberation movement, historians have neglected its role in the struggle for Mozambican independence. This neglect has resulted in an imbalanced understanding of how Mozambicans fought to overthrow Portuguese colonial rule throughout the second half of the 20th century, including how Mozambican liberation movements navigated the precarious exile environment…

Apartheid South Africa's Reaction to Congo's White Refuge Seekers, 1960-61
This article analyzes how and why the apartheid government and white South African society assisted white refuge seekers fleeing from the present-day Democratic Republic of Congo to South Africa in July 1960. It argues that race-based solidarity shaped how white South Africans responded to Congo's white refuge seekers, generating a momentary but widespread sense of responsibility for their well-being. This article shows how the government's react…
The Pan Africanist Congress and the Congo Alliance, 1963–1964
This article examines the Pan Africanist Congress’ (PAC) participation in the so-called Congo Alliance and its operations in what is today the Democratic Republic of Congo between 1963 and 1964. The alliance represented an attractive opportunity for the PAC to receive much needed political, financial, and military support to set up and maintain its operations in exile. It also held out the chance to establish regional connections with other liber…

Soon after Tshombe's announcement, the white minority government of apartheid South Africa was accused by some political leaders and commentators of having formed an ‘unholy alliance’ with the secessionist state of Katanga, which lasted from 1960 to 1963. This alliance, described contemporaneously as a co…
