Masculinities, militarisation and the End Conscription Campaign
explores the gendered dynamics of apartheid-era South Africa's
militarisation and analyses the defiance of compulsory military
service by individual white men, and the anti-apartheid activism of
the white men and women in the End Conscription Campaign (ECC), the
most significant white anti-apartheid movement to happen in South
Africa. Military conscription and objection to it are
conceptualised as gendered acts of citizenship and premised on and
constitutive of masculinities. Conway draws upon a range of
materials and disciplines to produce this socio-political study.
Sources include interviews with white men who objected to military
service in the South African Defence Force (SADF); archival
material, including military intelligence surveillance of the ECC;
ECC campaigning material, press reports and other pro-state
propaganda. The analysis is informed by perspectives in sociology,
international relations, history and from work on contemporary
militarised societies such as those in Israel and Turkey. This book
also explores the interconnections between militarisation,
sexuality, race, homophobia and political authoritarianism. -- .
