This book states the case against APARTHEID. The plaintiffs are 23 million oppressed non-white South Africans who are no longer willing to supply the cheap labor to support some 6 million white South Africans in a life of privilege and plenty. "Nowhere else today is racialism so blatantly and unashamedly embraced, so brutally imposed and enforced, writes Alex La Guma in his introduction to this collection. All of the authors are South African and have themselves experienced the brutalities anad indignities of this doctrine which permeates every sphere of life.
The writings cover the myriad aspects of South African racism, its ori-gins, and its economic structure; its "Schools for Servitude. the only education system in the world designed to restrict the productivity of its pupils ... to fix them in a tribal world"; its hated "Bantu Homelands" policy which robs the Africans of their land, separates families and leaves tens of thousands of African women, old people and fatherless children to rot in resettlement villages; how apartheid affects White South African culture and isolates its writers and artists from reality; the fabric of South African sport and the protest movement that has grown to international dimensions; the Government's military buildup; the role of the Communist Party of South Africa, and of the working class; the development of the South African revolution, its strategy and tactics; and lastly an analysis of the revolutionary programme of the African National Congress.
The volume also contains examples of poetry which express the aspirations of the African peoples and their determination to fight until they have won the freedoms as set forth in their Freedom Charter-freedoms for both black and white.”
