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.","PeriodicalId":43901,"journal":{"name":"Safundi-The Journal of South African and American Studies","volume":"174 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82955688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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.","PeriodicalId":43901,"journal":{"name":"Safundi-The Journal of South African and American Studies","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75137890","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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.","PeriodicalId":43901,"journal":{"name":"Safundi-The Journal of South African and American Studies","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76127579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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.","PeriodicalId":43901,"journal":{"name":"Safundi-The Journal of South African and American Studies","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84103455","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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.

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.","PeriodicalId":43901,"journal":{"name":"Safundi-The Journal of South African and American Studies","volume":"5 1","pages":"90 - 101"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87790111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
