The Commonwealth, South Africa and Apartheid

Race, Conflict and Reconciliation

Beschreibung

This book explores the modern Commonwealthâ s role in the international campaign against apartheid in South Africa. The author demonstrates that, after the 1960 Sharpeville massacre and South Africaâ s subsequent exclusion from the Commonwealth, the organisation became "pathfinder and interlocutor" on the road to South Africaâ s freedom.

Autor

Stuart Mole was for sixteen years a senior officer of the Commonwealth Secretariat as the organisation's campaign reached its climax. He was the Special Assistant to Shridath 'Sonny' Ramphal (the second Commonwealth Secretary-General) and Director and Head of the Office of Chief Emeka Anyaoku (the third Secretary-General). He visited South Africa and the neighbouring states many times as part of the Commonwealth's campaign. He has just completed seven years of doctoral research into the subject area, culminating in the award, in December 2020, of a History PhD from the University of Exeter. His research, which in some respects has changed his own perceptions, has involved consulting hitherto unseen or neglected archives in the UK and South Africa.
