The Soweto uprising was a true turning point in South Africa's
history. Even to contemporaries, it seemed to mark the beginning of
the end of apartheid. This compelling book examines both the
underlying causes and the immediate factors that led to this
watershed event. It looks at the crucial roles of Black
Consciousness ideology and nascent school-based organizations in
shaping the character and form of the revolt. What began as a
peaceful and coordinated demonstration rapidly turned into a
violent protest when police opened fire on students. This short
history explains the uprising and its aftermath from the
perspective of its main participants, the youth, by drawing on a
rich body of oral histories.
