A new history of the 1976 Soweto Uprising and the events leading to it in the preceding decade, that will transform our understanding of the historical evolution of the struggle against apartheid.

South Africa's Insurgent Citizens: On Dissent and the Possibility of Politics
ISBN: 9781783602971 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Twenty years after South Africa s first democratic election, the nation s politics are more fractious than ever before. The lofty dreams of the early days of the post-apartheid era have dissolved into cynicism in the face of incessant police violence, the quashing of dissent, and the spread of corruption. To many South Africans today, politics is a failed enterprise, the preserve only of the corrupt, the self-interested, the incompetent, and the violent.
With this book, Julian Brown mounts a powerful, polemic argument against that sort of despair. Politics is alive and well in South... Twenty years after South Africa s first democratic election, the nation s politics are more fractious than ever before. The lofty dreams of the early ...

This revisionary account of the Soweto Uprising of June 1976 and the decade preceding it transforms our understanding of what led to this crucial flashpoint of South Africa's history. Brown argues that far from there being -quiescence- following the Sharpeville Massacre and the suppression of African opposition movements, during which they went underground, this period was marked by experiments in resistance and attempts to develop new forms of politics that prepared the ground for the Uprising. Students at South Africa's segregated universities began to re-organise themselves as a political...

ISBN: 9780521038621 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Manuscripts are the form of evidence most studied in this volume: the likely seventh- and eighth-century English ownership of a fifth-century copy of a Hieronymian commentary is meticulously reconstructed; an edition and full discussion of the eighth-century Anglian collection of royal genealogies and regnal lists advance our understanding of this difficult material; and it is shown that most of the drawings in the Junius codex of Old English poetry probably derived from an illustrated copy of an Old Saxon poem on Genesis which came to this country in the middle of the ninth century....
