| | There is a considerable body of literature on the role of political parties, groups and organisations in the anti-apartheid struggle. Legassick's investigation makes a valuable contribution to this corpus as he provides detailed analysis of the strategy adopted by Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK) from the early 1960s until late 1980s, setting out to compare it's strategy with those of other Southern African liberation movements including FRELIMO, MPLA, SWAPO, ZANU and ZAPU. Legassick's analysis offers insights not only into MK policy and its relations with other groups within the anti-apartheid movement, but also promises to locate the MK and anti-apartheid forces within a wider regional and anti-colonial context. |
