From April 1986 until just after Nelson Mandela's release from
prison in February 1990, supporters of the City of London
Anti-Apartheid Group maintained a continuous protest, day and
night, outside the South African Embassy in central London. This
book examines how and why a group of children, teenagers and young
adults made themselves 'non-stop against apartheid', creating one
of the most visible expressions of anti-apartheid solidarity in
Britain. Drawing on interviews with over ninety former participants
in the Non-Stop Picket of the South African Embassy and extensive
archival research using previously unstudied documents, this book
offers new insights to the study of social movements and young
people's lives. It theorises solidarity and the processes of
adolescent development as social practices to provide a
theoretically-informed, argument-led analysis of how young
activists build and practice solidarity. Youth Activism and
Solidarity: The Non-Stop Picket Against Apartheid will be of
interest to geographers, historians and a wide range of other
social scientists concerned with the historical geography of the
international anti-apartheid movement, social movement studies,
contemporary British history, and young people's activism and
geopolitical agency.
