Overview
An important contribution to the political history of this period
[and] a must for those interested in the influence of the great
pan-Africanists. -- Elliott P. Skinner This study traces the
evolution of the anti-apartheid movement from its origins in the 1940s through the
civil rights and black power eras to its maturation in the 1980s as a force that
transformed U.S. foreign policy. The movement initially met resistance and
was soon repressed, only to reemerge during the civil rights era, when it became
radicalized with the coming of the black freedom movement. The book looks at three
important political groups: TransAfrica -- the black lobby for Africa and the
Caribbean; the Free South Africa Movement; and lastly the Congressional Black Caucus
and its role in passing sanctions against South Africa over President Reagan's veto.
It concludes with an assessment of the impact of sanctions on the release of Nelson
Mandela and his eventual election as president of South Africa.
