The Dynamic of Revolution in South Africa Dora Taylor 2nd Revision edition

The writings and speeches of I. B. Tabata clearly demonstrate that there was an alternative to the programme and policies adopted by the ANC in the struggle against the racist régime in South Africa. In a letter to his young kinsman, Nelson Mandela, Tabata contrasted the programme and method of struggle of the Unity Movement of South Africa, a political organisation of which he was one of the founders, to those of the ANC. Covering a period of almost 30 years, beginning in the early 1940's, Tabata's writings and speeches presented a powerful challenge to the ideology of apartheid over a crucial period in South Africa's history. The book is expertly edited by Dora Taylor, Tabata's political colleague, highlighting Tabata's talents which he used so effectively in the years of the political struggle.
