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. 410 0$aAfrican Social Studies Series$v29. 606 $aExile (Punishment)$zSouth Africa$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aInternally displaced persons$zSouth Africa 606 $aPolitical prisoners$zSouth Africa 606 $aPolitical activists$xLegal status, laws, etc$zSouth Africa 606 $aHuman rights$zSouth Africa 606 $aApartheid$zSouth Africa 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aExile (Punishment)$xHistory 615 0$aInternally displaced persons 615 0$aPolitical prisoners 615 0$aPolitical activists$xLegal status, laws, etc. 615 0$aHuman rights 615 0$aApartheid 676 $a305.9069140968 700 $aBadat$b Saleem$0919369 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462828903321 996 $aThe forgotten people$92061941 997 $aUNINA
