One of the most respected African leaders, Luthuli linked South African antiapartheid politics with other movements, becoming South Africa’s leading advocate of Mahatma Gandhi’s nonviolent civil disobedience techniques. He also framed apartheid as a crime against humanity and thus linked South African antiapartheid struggles with international human rights campaigns. Unlike previous studies, this book places Luthuli and the South African antiapartheid struggle in new global contexts, and aspects of Luthuli’s leadership that were not previously publicly known: Vinson is the first to use new archival evidence, numerous oral interviews, and personal memoirs to reveal that Luthuli privately supported sabotage as an additional strategy to end apartheid. This multifaceted portrait will be indispensable to students of African history and politics and nonviolence movements worldwide.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 178mmItem Length: 108mmAuthor: Robert Trent VinsonGenre: HistoryBook Series: Ohio Short Histories of AfricaISBN-10: 0821423282Topic: BiographyRelease Year: 2018 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
