AFRA: 20 years in the land rights struggle 1979-1999 by Harley, Anne, and Romy Fotheringham

(Pietermaritzburg, Association for Rural Advancement, 1999). 244 x 169 mm; laminated wraps; maps; tables; monochrome illustrations in text. Corners of cover very slightly curled. Very good condition. "AFRA came into being amidst the organisational bannings and deaths in detention that marked South Africa after the Soweto revolt. Memory was one of the first weapons of the organisation - its connection to a tradition of resistance to forced removals in Natal by the Liberal Party and the African National Congress until both these bodies were suppressed in the Sixties. From 1979 till now, AFRA has re-established a practice of resolute opposition to injustices perpetrated against rural people and, with growing confidence in post-apartheid South Africa, participation in the fight for a better life for all in rural areas. It intends to continue that work, though this time, it is hoped, in a stronger partnership with government and other parts of civil society." .
