After Soweto : An Unfinished journey
The 1976 uprising in Soweto transformed the nature of both internal and external opposition to apartheid in South Africa, and the effects of this vociferous and sustained protest are felt more strongly than ever today. This book examines the nature of opposition among the African community to apartheid in the crucial years since Soweto by analysing internal African initiatives for bringing about social and political change, most of which lack the formalized character of 'national opposition' and take place outside the main nationalist organizations. Various forms of opposition are discussed: trade union activity, political organization in the townships and homelands, terrorism, media reaction, and spontaneous collective protests.
Mr Brewer concludes that, far from being discouraged or pacified by the hesitant, often faltering government-led reforms in the years following the Soweto uprising, the African community has responded to new circumstances in South Africa in a dynamic way which has resulted in a heightened political consciousness, a strengthening of resolve, and a new sense of solidarity.
