This edited volume examines the complexities of the Cold War in
Southern Africa and uses a range of archives to develop a more
detailed understanding of the impact of the Cold War environment
upon the processes of political change. In the aftermath of
European decolonization, the struggle between white minority
governments and black liberation movements encouraged both sides to
appeal for external support from the two superpower blocs. Cold War
in Southern Africa highlights the importance of the global
ideological environment on the perceptions and consequent behaviour
of the white minority regimes, the Black Nationalist movements, and
the newly independent African nationalist governments. Together,
they underline the variety of archival sources on the history of
Southern Africa in the Cold War and its growing importance in Cold
War Studies. This volume brings together a series of essays by
leading scholars based on a wide range of sources in the United
States, Russia, Cuba, Britain, Zambia and South Africa. By
focussing on a range of independent actors, these essays highlight
the complexity of the conflict in Southern Africa: a battle of
power blocs, of systems and ideas, which intersected with notions
and practices of race and class This book will appeal to students
of cold war studies, US foreign policy, African politics and
International History. Sue Onslow has taught at the London School
of Economics since 1994. She is currently a Cold War Studies Fellow
in the Cold War Studies Centre/IDEAS
