The BSM aligned its anti-apartheid politics with the United Democratic Front (UDF) and black consciousness philosophy. It emerged due to the conservative disposition of the Student Representative Council (SRC), and sought to address both the issues that black students faced on campus and to draw attention to the broader political context of the time. The central argument of the paper is that the BSM, as an anti-apartheid students’ organization, used protest as a tool to represent the issues of black students at Rhodes. This paper demonstrates that the BSM’s demands were largely recognised by the Rhodes senate, and its politics created small but significant changes in the university’s policies. During the 2015 period, Rhodes University once again saw a formation of a new BSM, raising the issues of ‘decolonization’ and transformation.","PeriodicalId":43901,"journal":{"name":"Safundi-The Journal of South African and American Studies","volume":"39 1","pages":"11 - 18"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74458790","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}

UNT, formerly known as North Texas State University (NTSU), contributed to global anti-apartheid efforts. Sparked by NTSU students, protests, rallies, and lectures created a new arena for these young activists to voice concern and take action against the apartheid regime in South Africa during the late 1980s. Most studies regarding anti-apartheid activism tend to focus on often elite private universities or major flagship universities. This study helps fill in the gap regarding what happened at more working-class universities and colleges. This article tells the story of North Texas State University’s courageous students who led an on-campus grassroots campaign which contributed to the end of apartheid.","PeriodicalId":43901,"journal":{"name":"Safundi-The Journal of South African and American Studies","volume":"23 1","pages":"84 - 89"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78535373","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 protest at Chase Manhattan's headquarters in March 1965 was the culminating event in the “Action Against Apartheid Week” activities taking place in the New York City area. This article examines SDS's protest against Chase Manhattan as a critical precursor to the divestment movements that developed across US college and university campuses during the 1970s and 1980s, exploring the influence of students and youth activists on both US foreign policy and the international anti-apartheid struggle.","PeriodicalId":43901,"journal":{"name":"Safundi-The Journal of South African and American Studies","volume":"35 1","pages":"102 - 112"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80888864","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}

After student campaigners advocated a boycott of the tour by the London Metropolitan Police, the University of Nairobi rugby team was the first to refuse to compete. This action by a Kenyan university team choosing to disrupt a British sports tour broke the top-down mold of past Kenyan anti-apartheid sport activism and was a rare instance of a student-led sport boycott that directly opposed the stance taken by Kenyan sport officials.","PeriodicalId":43901,"journal":{"name":"Safundi-The Journal of South African and American Studies","volume":"43 1","pages":"36 - 45"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86084028","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}

Anti-apartheid activism and efforts to get universities to divest from companies doing business in South Africa dominated campus activism in the mid-1980s. To dramatize racial and economic oppression in South Africa, students built shanties to represent the poverty and exploitation of that county’s black population. They also signed petitions, demonstrated, and formed alliances with local activists. Such was the case at Yale. While anti-apartheid politics dominated the mid-1980s, students also challenged the Reagan administration’s interventionist policies toward Central America and engaged in local causes, particularly the union organizing efforts of Yale’s employees. Anti-apartheid activism thus represented but one organizing effort, albeit a major one, at Yale during the 1980s. Yale never fully divested, but the actions of students, as well as the often hostile response of the administration, ensured that apartheid and divestment were front and center of college life.","PeriodicalId":43901,"journal":{"name":"Safundi-The Journal of South African and American Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":"56 - 68"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72628132","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}

In this article, I look at how Nadine Gordimer’s The Pickup (2001) represents the material continuities of apartheid in the form of clientelistic, dependent labor. Whilst the progressive protagonist Julie believes she can live in an “alternative society” with her illegal immigrant partner Ibrahim outside the imperatives of the rapidly corporatizing South Africa, this is revealed to be a fantasy that simply reproduces the indentured conditions of Ibrahim’s existence. In both form and content, The Pickup attacks the naïve desire to live outside of the contingencies of contemporary South Africa.","PeriodicalId":43901,"journal":{"name":"Safundi-The Journal of South African and American Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":"375 - 397"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2021-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75532046","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}

My reflections, based on my 14-year editorship, are anecdotal. They are motivated by three considerations. First, journal editorship is a largely invisible practice in both institutions and across the literary studies academy, and it warrants comment because it is unduly influential. Second, anecdotes articulate situated experiences and practices. I am loath to make general inferences since each literary studies journal is embedded in its context and fashioned by distinct priorities, traditions, and routines. Nonetheless, this account will resonate in some respects with contributors and editors across the literary studies academy. Finally, changes at English Studies in Africa have refracted shifts in literary scholarship, which allows us to reflect, not just on the succession of critical paradigms, but on the effects of digitization, particularly the erosion of provincialism.","PeriodicalId":43901,"journal":{"name":"Safundi-The Journal of South African and American Studies","volume":"9 1 1","pages":"435 - 445"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2021-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90207184","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}
