The 1970s are a decade virtually lost to South African
historiography. This span of years bridged the banning and exile of
the country's best-known antiapartheid leaders in the early 1960s
and the furious protests that erupted after the Soweto uprisings of
June 16, 1976. Scholars thus know that something happened--yet they
have only recently begun to explore how and why. The Law and the
Prophets is an intellectual history of the resistance movement
between 1968 and 1977; it follows the formation, early trials, and
ultimate dissolution of the Black Consciousness movement. It
differs from previous antiapartheid historiography, however, in
that it focuses more on ideas than on people and organizations. Its
singular contribution is an exploration of the theological turn
that South African politics took during this time. Magaziner argues
that only by understanding how ideas about race, faith, and
selfhood developed and were transformed in this period might we
begin to understand the dramatic changes that took place.
