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.
