Founded in1912, the African National Congress worked tirelessly to promote democracy and protect the rights of South Africa's black population. Using a combination of armed struggle and conciliation, the ANC formed broad political alliances that ensured its victory in the 1994 general election and established Nelson Mandela as the first democratically elected president of South Africa. When he cast his own vote in this historic election, Mandela is said to have paid his respects at the memorial to John Dube (the first president of the ANC), proclaiming, "Mission accomplished, Mr. President." Eighty years after the ANC's founding, its dreams had finally been realized.In The Founders: The Origins of the ANC and the Struggle for Democracy in South Africa, author André Odendaal examines the creators of South Africa's early civil rights movement. This unique book chronicles the astonishing achievements of the pioneering intellectuals and activists who, from the 1860s onwards, led the struggle for black political rights in southern Africa's new colonial societies. Using a variety of sources, Odendaal demonstrates how the founders combined African humanism―or Ubuntu―with Western democratic constitutionalism and Christian beliefs to shape a new political vision that countered colonial and apartheid ideas. The Founders brings to life the remarkable generation of Africans who first developed the framework, form, and content of the freedom struggle in South Africa and is essential reading for those who wish to understand the context that produced Nelson Mandela and his famous African National Congress.

Pitch Battles: Sport, Racism and Resistance

#BlackLivesMatter protests and campaigns for gender equality highlight how systemic racism and inequality have long been inextricably intertwined with sport. No more so than the landmark direct-action 'Stop The Seventy Tour' campaign led by Peter Hain, which forced the unprecedented cancellation of the whites-only South African cricket tour of England in 1970. This is the story by two of the influential protagonists of the successful struggle against sports apartheid both inside South Africa and internationally, and the light it shines on inequalities in sport and society globally.

"There will be a black Springbok over my dead body."-- Dr Danie Craven, President of the South African Rugby Board, 1969&nbsp;Just a year after the controversial D'Oliveira affair, the organised disruption of the all-white 1969/70 South African rugby and cricket tours to Britain represented a significant challenge to apartheid politics. Led by future cabinet minister Peter Hain, the 'Stop the Seventy Tour' campaign brought about the cancellation of both tours, presaging white South Africa's expulsion from the Olympics and the end of apartheid sport altogether.With his brand of attention-grabbing, direct action sports protest, the 19-year-old Hain emerged as a hero to some and enemy to others. Now, reflecting on these experiences with fifty years of hindsight, Lord Hain, together with South Africa's foremost sports historian and fellow anti-apartheid activist André Odendaal, shows how decades of relentless international and domestic campaigning for equality led to a Springbok team captained by black athlete Siya Kolisi winning the 2019 Rugby World Cup.Interspersing a wide range of examples with personal testimony, Pitch Battles explores the themes of sport, globalisation and resistance from the deep past to the present day. Published in the same year as the Stop The Tour documentary from acclaimed director Louis Myles, this compelling story of sacrifice, struggle and triumph reveals how sport should never be divorced from politics or society's values.

The first of its kind for any sport in South Africa: a cricket love story of epic dimensions, full of sometimes shocking details. Cricket and Conquest fundamentally revises long-established foundational narratives of early South African cricket, reaching beyond whites-only mainstream histories to integrate at every stage and in every region the experiences of black, as well as women, players. In this book and its sequels, the authors reveal how racism came to be built into the very fabric of South African cricket's culture and traditions, and how the sport was tied to the broader historical processes that shaped the country.

When the Proteas play today, they bat for all South African cricketers―but there were once seven different cricket associations, each claiming to be to be "national." Divided Country continues the story begun in Cricket and Conquest, detailing not only how racism became so entrenched in South African cricket in 1914-1959, but also how segregation in the sport is tied to broader historical processes. The authors completely counter previous chronicles of South African cricket, showing how the game has an infinitely richer history than previously recorded. CONTENTS:
