Apartheid and Nelson Mandela (1918–2013)
Apartheid is a uniquely South African policy of racial engineering through which European colonizers tried to ensure their supremacy between 1948 and 1994. Invented by the Afrikaner section of the minority white population, it also aimed at advancing exclusive Afrikaner nationalism. Prior to the institutionalized racialism, British colonial informal segregation had achieved similar effects, although racial mixing and inter‐racial relationships we…
M andela, N elson (1918–2013) and Apartheid
What was the role of Nelson Mandela in the transition of South Africa from apartheid to a nonracial inclusive South Africa? What were the formative influences in his early childhood, youth, and adulthood that led to making him the icon he became? In this entry significant milestones in the shaping of his leadership are traced.
Imagined Liberation: Xenophobia, Citizenship, and Identity in South Africa, Germany, and Canada
Thinking about the significance of Nelson Mandela for education
We have arrived, almost inevitably, at the point where Nelson Mandela’s significance for education needs to be scholarly discussed. In the period building up to and in the wake of his death in Dece
Imagined Liberation - Xenophobia, Citizenship and Identity in South Africa, Germany and Canada
Shifting boundaries and flexible identities within a multicultural Canada
This analysis probes the evolution of Canadian multiculturalism within the national political constellation which in turn is influenced by global geopolitical trends. Rather than narrowly focusing on how and what is being taught under the rubric multiculturalism, falsely taking curricula or vacuous educational manifestos at face value, we describe the political background of Canadian multiculturalism. We contrast the pronouncements of the Canadia…

Political travel through the holy land
African Renaissance and language policies in comparative perspective
The predicament of the continued usage of colonial languages for economic reasons is contrasted with the demand for recognition and state support for indigenous and non-dominant minority languages. However, new African elites define competitiveness in the global arena as a crucial goal. To this end, despite talk of African Renaissance, African languages are relegated to the private realm, where a vibrant oral tradition exists. In turn, dominant W…
Race and Nation in Post-Apartheid South Africa
The post apartheid state forges ahead with nation building, reconciliation, and the cultivation of an inclusive non-racial citizenship. The ANC government seems poised somewhere between denying the importance of group specific realities and having to realise the importance of 'difference' in coping with the apartheid legacy. While the state cannot ignore language, culture and identity, its central problem is how to reconcile 'difference' with com…
The purchased revolution in South Africa: Lessons for democratic transformation
The relatively peaceful changeover of political power in South Africa has been greatly facilitated by the vast resources of the state and a private‐sector‐led economy. Many potential trouble‐makers were bought off by being put on the payroll of the public service or being absorbed into even more lucrative private business. Ideologues of the old regime were pacified through generous retrenchment packages. This purchased revolution has rapidly prod…

Comparing South Africa: Nonracialism versus ethnonationalist revival
Reluctant reconciliation is taking shape in South Africa. The ambivalent alliance between the two major contenders for power, the National Party (NP) and the African National Congress (ANC) results from a balance of forces where neither side can defeat the other. It is their mutual weakness rather than their equal strength, that makes both long-time adversaries embrace negotiations for powersharing. Like a forced marriage, the working arrangement…
The Opening of the Apartheid Mind: Options for the New South Africa
Refusing to be governed by what is fashionable or inoffensive, Heribert Adam and Kogila Moodley frankly address the passions and rationalities that drive politics in post-apartheid South Africa. They argue that the country's quest for democracy is widely misunderstood and that public opinion abroad relies on stereotypes of violent tribalism and false colonial analogies. Adam and Moodley criticize the personality cult surrounding Nelson Mandela an…

Political Violence, 'Tribalism', and Inkatha
Probably no other aspect of the South African conflict has elicited more divergent explanations and misinterpretations than the ongoing political violence. It is variously attributed to (1) de Klerk's double agenda and unreformed police; (2) a 'third force' of right-wing elements in the security establishment, bent on derailing the Government's negotiation agenda; (3) Inkatha-A.N.C. rivalry, engineered by ambitious Buthelezi in danger of being si…

The Continued Impact of Black Consciousness in South Africa
The idea of Black Consciousness heralded an era of alternative political awareness in the late 1960s. A self-empowering, vibrant, reconstructionist world-view emphasised the potential rôle of black initiatives and responsibility in articulating the power of the powerless. Between 1968-76, the Black Consciousness Movement (B.C.M.), as it became known, was one of the most important developments in South Africa, not only as the result of the self-co…
The Crisis in South Africa
Negotiations About What in South Africa
Widespread scepticism prevails that the proper conditions for negotiations do not as yet exist in South Africa. Yet, most major parties to the conflict (with the exception of the Pan-Africanist Congress) flaunt negotiations as the magic formula for settling a seemingly intractable dispute. From the western governments to the Soviet Union, from the African National Congress to the National Party, all advocate negotiations. In 1989 the N.P. fought …

The Legitimation Crisis of the South African State
On 21 March 1985, the twenty-fifth anniversary of the infamous Sharpevile incident, South African police, without provocation or warning, killed 20 unarmed black marchers at Langa in the Eastern Cape. Most were shot in the back. The outnumbered contingent of white and black police with two armoured vehicles, felt that the blacks, on their way to a funeral, would threaten the white township.The repetition of this crudest form of state violence aga…

Robert Anderson's pioneering exploration of martial law and censorship on a comparative basis needs to be supplemented with the case of ethnically divided societies where the repression is mainly directed against ethnic outsiders. Of the four case studies in this collection, Poland and Chile are culturally homogeneous societies while the plural states of India and Bangladesh are sufficiently integrated not to make one ethnic group alone the targe…
