Abstract This article explores the intersectional politics of Dora Tamana from the 1940s to the early 1980s. A key figure in the anti-apartheid movement, Tamana’s activism was deeply informed by her own health, as well as the physical well-being of her family and community. Drawing on her own personal experiences and losses, she carefully constructed a militant and uncompromising politics of African motherhood that grappled with the violence of settler colonialism and racial capitalism. This emphasis on health, care and kinship also crossed borders, forming the basis of Tamana’s Black international politics which were shaped by the international women’s movement and her travels in Europe, China, Mongolia, and the Soviet Union.

Abstract The passage of the 1986 Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act over the veto of President Ronald Reagan was a stunning victory for US campaigners opposed to apartheid in South Africa. Sanctions against the apartheid regime were first proposed in Congress in 1972 but struggled to build sufficient support beyond veterans of the US civil rights movement. This article argues that the discursive framing around the sanctions issue was important to its construction of a wider coalition of supporters in Congress. Both grassroots organizations and supporters in Congress moved away from a civil rights framing to an anti-communist framing, having briefly experimented with a human rights discourse championed by Jimmy Carter. This article is the first to use a word-scoring method to trace discourse systematically during the fourteen-year period when Congress debated the sanctions issue.

Abstract This paper considers two South African romantic comedies, Tell Me Sweet Something (Akin Omotoso, 2015) and Happiness is a Four-Letter Word (Thabang Moleya, 2016). Both are set in a wealthy, sophisticated version of Johannesburg and feature black casts that include high profile celebrities. Both emphasize versions of black South African masculinity that deviate from stereotyped depictions of black men as workers, warriors, patriarchs and/or enactors of violence. These films center on an aspirational iteration of black manhood that prioritizes consumption, class and social status. I discuss their representations of the various male characters – Nat in Sweet Something and Thomas, Chris, Bheki, Bongani and Leo in Happiness – including their bodily performances, embeddedness (or lack of) in South African cultural forms and modes of dress and speech. Drawing on ideas about Afropolitanism, I argue that the films update cinematic stereotypes of masculinity, particularly the damaging association of black men and violence. This apparently progressive move is, however, ambivalent, as it privileges a neoliberal and one-dimensional understanding of black masculinity and of contemporary African-ness.

Abstract The South African edition of the American men’s lifestyle magazine, Gentlemen’s Quarterly or GQ, launched in December 1999/January 2000. GQ Style, an aspirational supplementary magazine, sold separately to the parent publication, is evidence of the immense interest of GQ’s readers in sartorial distinction. The situatedness of this publication in a democratic South Africa tremendously sensitive to an intersectional politics has forced it to adapt. Through semiotic analyses of photographic tableaus, it becomes apparent how the magazine uses a Camp performance of masculinity as a marker of playful distinction for a new generation of almost exclusively Black readers. This article argues that in the current fantasy world of GQ Style, Afropolitanism implies a “remix” of the esthetic genealogies of Anglo-America. It also argues that GQ Style is complicit in the maintenance of epistemic coloniality.

Abstract This article is an account of student anti-apartheid activism in Ghana’s universities from the 1960s to the 1980s. Through various organizations, associations, public statements, demonstrations and campus journalism, Ghanaian student activists expressed opposition to apartheid and solidarity with the struggle against it in South Africa. Animated by pan-Africanism, anti-colonialism and a general internationalism, anti-apartheid activism as well as support for liberation movements in southern Africa was a significant plank in Ghanaian student politics in that period.

Abstract Focusing on Obafemi Awolowo University, Ife (OAU) (formerly known as the University of Ife 1 ) in Nigeria’s Western region in the 1970s and 1980s, this article explores the internationalist politics of both students and academic staff and how they influenced Nigeria’s international relations policies, particularly during the apartheid period in South Africa. This article is a critical study of some of the substantive measures and policies initiated to both provide solidarity with South African anti-apartheid activists and also undermine the South African apartheid regime during this period. The efforts of the anti-apartheid campaign at the tertiary institution in Nigeria’s post-independence era, this article illustrates, culminated in several of the seminal economic and political policies that were subsequently ratified by the Nigerian government, against the South African apartheid regime. This article argues that during the 1970s and 1980s, leftist students and academics on university campuses across Nigeria mobilized support and were at the forefront of the anti-apartheid campaign in Nigeria and also on the African continent.

Abstract The author explains the history, priorities, and contents of the African Activist Archive Project (AAAP), a free website and digital archive of the Southern Africa solidarity movement in the United States from the 1950s to the 1990s. This article focuses on materials from the anti-apartheid movement on US campuses, identifying both strengths and weaknesses in what materials about campus-based activism are included in the AAAP archive and invites former activists to donate or lend additional materials. The article also makes observations about the US campus anti-apartheid movement and suggests areas of further research.

Abstract Apathy was the word most often used to describe student responses to apartheid at the State University of New York (SUNY) Brockport in the 1980s. Yet in 1987, SUNY became the third university in the nation to award Nelson Mandela an honorary degree, and they did so at Brockport, in western New York State. Three years later, a student-led initiative successfully created three scholarships for South African students to study at Brockport. Asking how students at SUNY Brockport achieved these remarkable successes expands our understanding of both the history of anti-apartheid activism and the components that make for effective student protests. The scholarship on anti-apartheid student activism has largely focused on larger or elite universities, but as this article shows, the experience at smaller, regional colleges and universities was radically different. By tracing Brockport’s anti-apartheid activism, this article also demonstrates how both low- and high-profile student activism can achieve remarkable results, when they have a sympathetic administration. At a campus that never built a shantytown or even held an anti-apartheid protest until 1989, a handful of committed students made an impact and for a moment, put Brockport at the vanguard of anti-apartheid activism in the United States.

Abstract This paper will analyze the 40-day sleep-in and protest at the University of Florida to illustrate the growing popular support for the anti-apartheid movement amongst student and citizen activists in the 1980s. Particular focus will be paid to the issue of divestment, student protests, and public action that called for the university to remove itself from financially supporting the apartheid regime. It will show that student organizations like the UF Coalition for Divestment for South Africa and the Student Coalition Against Apartheid and Racism (SCAAR) represented a wave of public support that dominated this period and acted as a small but crucial component in the eventual toppling of apartheid.
