After successfully negotiating the political transition in South
Africa, one of the greatest challenges facing the new democracy was
the proliferation of firearms and the high levels of violent crime
associated with this. Gun deaths and injuries rocketed out of
control.Adele Kirsten tells the remarkable story of how Gun Free
South Africa, a small NGO with few resources, mobilised to reduce
the number of guns in circulation. Through innovative campaigning
and media strategies it quickly became a household name, and the
scourge of the pro-gun lobby. But the book tells us more than this.
It highlights the value of involving ordinary people in a process
that resulted, not only in a new law, but deeply influenced the
thinking of many democrats in search of genuine solutions to a
post-conflict society. This book will appeal to activists,
democrats, and all those involved in policy making and social
change, as well as scholars of these processes.
