For readings on the ANC's years in exile may I suggest, inter alia:
* start with some readily accessible "core texts" (if there are such things)
in:
_From protest to challenge : a documentary history of African politics in
South Africa, 1882-1979 / Edited by Thomas Karis and Gwendolen M. Carter.
Unisa v. 5 1997
_Mandela, Tambo, and the African National Congress : the struggle against
apartheid,
1948-1990 : a documentary survey_ / edited by Sheridan Johns, R. Hunt Davis, Jr
New York : Oxford : Oxford University Press, 1991
_Preparing for power : Oliver Tambo speaks_ / compiled by Adelaide Tambo ,
foreword by
Nelson Mandela London : Heinemann Educational, 1987
* survey some new works: e.g. Dale McKinley (Pluto 1997) & Vladimir Shubin
(Mayibuye, 1999): The ANC and the liberation struggle : a critical political
biography / Dale T. McKinley London : Pluto Press, 1997
* compare these with the numerous biographies/memoirs of ANC figures in
exile (Tambo; Kasrils; Resha; Archie Sibeko; Anne-Marie Wolpe etc.). See
Bernstein, Hilda, _The rift : the exile experience of South Africans_ London
: Cape, 1994
* add the diplomatic dimension with _The diplomacy of liberation : the
foreign relations of the African National Congress since 1960_ / Scott
Thomas New York : St. Martin's, 1996 + Roger Southall's book.
* consider the added dimensions of the exile experience from the viewpoint
of allies in SACTU and the SACP, and literary/artistic manifestations.
* and finally appraise some broader histories by Francis Meli; Stephen Davis
_Apartheid's rebels Yale University Press, 1987; & Tom Lodge (various). For
a more (over?)-critical work see: _Comrades against apartheid : the ANC &
the South African Communist Party in exile_ / Stephen Ellis & Tsepo
Sechaba.
Indiana U. Press, 1992
There are also many videos you could use on the subject, plus journal
articles, etc. Some of these are listed in my 380 page _The ANC and black
workers in South Africa, 1912-1992 : an annotated bibliography_ / Peter
Limb(London, H. Zell, 1993).
If you type "african national congress" in the subject line of any major
university library online catalog then you will have more than a few of the
above works.
