Publisher's Synopsis
Written by leading thinkers within the African National Congress (ANC), this compilation sets out to provide short yet informative introductions to the party's history, politics, and policy. Based on a series of lectures given at Parliament to ANC members, this record looks at the principles and processes that led to the organization's founding in 1912 and examines how they have influenced policy and practice for almost a century. Intended for ANC supporters and the wider public alike, this account argues that the diversity of influences on the ANC is indicative of a living and growing movement that has been sensitive to both the national and international environment in which it has found itself.
