Abstract

Sweden’s relations with the South African liberation movements date back to the 1960s, when the Swedish anti-apartheid movementarose. In addition to moral support and about $400 million dollars in financial support, Sweden became the first Western country to give official political support to the anti-apartheid movement. Such was the relationship between the African National Congress (ANC) and Sweden, that the latter became the first country outside of Africa to be visited by Nelson Mandela in 1990, after his release from decades of imprisonment. The aim of this contribution is therefore to provide a brief synopsis of the rich history of Sweden’s solidaritywith the South African liberation struggle and the role played by the Swedish youth, the Swedish antiapartheid movement, civil society, trade unions, and Olof Palme, former Swedish prime minister, who was one of the most committed allies of the liberation movements.

反对种族隔离的瑞典:历史概述
瑞典与南非解放运动的关系可以追溯到20世纪60年代,当时瑞典的反种族隔离运动兴起。除了道义上的支持和大约4亿美元的财政支持外,瑞典还成为第一个向反种族隔离运动提供官方政治支持的西方国家。这就是非洲人国民大会(ANC)与瑞典之间的关系。1990年,纳尔逊·曼德拉从数十年的监禁中获释后,瑞典成为他访问的第一个非洲以外的国家。因此,这篇文章的目的是简要介绍瑞典声援南非解放斗争的丰富历史,以及瑞典青年、瑞典反种族隔离运动、公民社会、工会和解放运动最坚定的盟友之一、瑞典前首相奥洛夫·帕尔梅所发挥的作用。
