In a practice reminiscent of Tsarist and Soviet Russia, a large number of ‘enemies of the state’ were banished to remote areas, far from their homes, communities and followers. Here their existence became ‘a slow torture of the soul’, a kind of social death. This is the first study of an important but hitherto neglected group of opponents of apartheid, set in a global, historical and comparative perspective. It looks at the reasons why people were banished, their lives in banishment and the efforts of a remarkable group of activists, led by Helen Joseph, to assist them.African Social Studies Series29.Exile (Punishment)South AfricaHistory20th centuryInternally displaced personsSouth AfricaPolitical prisonersSouth AfricaPolitical activistsLegal status, laws, etcSouth AfricaHuman rightsSouth AfricaApartheidSouth AfricaElectronic books.Exile (Punishment)HistoryInternally displaced personsPolitical prisonersPolitical activistsLegal status, laws, etc.Human rightsApartheid305.9069140968Badat Saleem919369MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910462828903321The forgotten people2061941UNINA
