Synopsis

Written at the time when the essential role of the ANC in any settlement for a post-apartheid South Africa was being realised by Western governments. This is the first history of the ANC, the oldest political party in South Africa, founded in 1912. It survived despite all attempts of successive South African governments to ignore its demands, to buy it off with token offers orto harass it into silence. North America: Indiana U Press; Southern Africa: Zimbabwe Publishing House

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

Meli takes us deftly through the early phases of African nationalism, the founding of the ANC, the important dialectic between the ANC and the Communist Party, and the resurgence of the ANC in the 1940s after being nearly eclipsed by the All-African Convention in the preceding decade. --The Southern African Review Of Books

What stands out in this history is the way in which Meli has succeeded in relating the development and changes in the policies and strategies of the ANC to the social and economic conditions which gave rise to it, and which it aimed to address, with the aim of ending race and class domination in South Africa. The book is alive with combative debate and reasoning. --New Nation
