A compelling study of the origins and trajectory of one of the
legendary black uprisings against apartheid, Theatres of Struggle
and the End of Apartheid draws on insights gained from the
literature on collective action and social movements. It delves
into the Alexandra Rebellion of 1986 to reveal its inner workings.
Belinda Bozzoli's aim is to examine how the residents of Alexandra,
a poverty-stricken segregated township in Johannesburg, manipulated
and overturned the meanings of space, time, and power in their
sequestered world. She explains how they used political theater to
convey, stage, and dramatize their struggle and how young and old
residents generated differing ideologies and tactics, giving rise
to a distinct form of generational politics. Theatres of Struggle
and the End of Apartheid asks the reader to enter into the world of
the rebels and to confront the moral complexity and social duress
they experienced as they invented new social forms and violently
attacked old ones. It is an important study of collective action
that will be of great interest to sociologists and to scholars of
Africa, particularly to those interested in the antiapartheid
struggle.
