After the 1979 Revolution, 🇮🇷 Iran cut ties with apartheid 🇿🇦 South Africa, boycotting the regime and backing anti-apartheid movements. Relations only resumed in 1994 after majority rule. A powerful chapter of 🌍global ✊🏾solidarity. #Iran #SouthAfrica #AntiApartheid #History #GlobalPolitics
After his release from imprisonment for 27 years by the apartheid South African regime, African nationalist liberation leader Nelson Mandela chose Cuba as one of the first countries to visit. 🇨🇺 🤝 🇿🇦

We'll have more to say about this in due course (much more!), but feel free to let us know what YOU think of the cover, and if it is likely to make you want to pick it up and read.

This has been a 12-year process, but is now close to fruition. The official cover marks a major step towards the book's debut later this year & we are delighted with the images chosen by McFarland. #McFarlandPublishing #DeaneYates #SouthAfrica #Apartheid #Education #AntiApartheid #MaruAPula
We're thrilled to unveil the cover for our forthcoming new book with @mcfarland.bsky.social, Classroom Warrior Against Apartheid - The Life and Activism of Deane Yates.

Pres. #FWDeKlerk gave a speech #ThisDayInHistory in 1990 saying #ANC was unbanned & #NelsonMandela would be freed - a sharp turn-around for a pro-#apartheid nationalist who had served many years under #PWBotha. His reasons were pragmatic and a response to the #AntiApartheid wave.
De 1962 à 1994, l'ONU a soutenu la lutte contre l'apartheid en imposant des sanctions, en soutenant la libération et en contribuant à l'instauration de la démocratie en Afrique du Sud.

In November 1985, #AntiApartheid students at #Dartmouth created a mock #ShantyTown to show conditions in #apartheid #SouthAfrica. On #ThisDayInHistory in 1986, #conservative students attacked it, trying to destroy it. Never forget that the #Republicans defend #racist oppression.
Truly excited for 2026, when our latest book will be published by @mcfarland.bsky.social and we get to tell the full and elegant story of Deane Yates, OBE (1922-2012), anti-Apartheid campaigner and Classroom Warrior.

Maps aren’t neutral.
In this clip from ´Off the Grid’, Nadia Joseph reflects on how maps have been used to control, erase and weaponise power — and why those legacies still matter today

Under colonial rule and #apartheid, mapping imposed control
As Vusi Mathebula says, reclaiming place names “turns things around,” reasserts the power of the #map, & foregrounds the #voice + #identity of Indigenous #communities

Not all resistance is quiet — some of it sings
This clip from our film in @britishlibrary.bsky.social’s Secret Maps exhibition centres Meadowlands (1956), Strike Vilakazi’s response to the Sophiatown forced removals, an anthem of defiance.

Gandhi also demanded apartheid's removal in South Africa, warning against underestimating the regime's "brazenness". 🇿🇦 He spoke to the UN special committee on apartheid, highlighting India's historic anti-racism role. 🇮🇳 #AntiApartheid #HumanRights
