It is based on 40 life histories of women who fought with the rural-based Poqo, the military wing of the Pan Africanist Congress; the exile-based uMkhonto we Sizwe, the military wing of the African National Congress; and the township-based self-defence units. Centring women's agency, commitment, beliefs and actions, it details the various ways in which women came to be politicised and the decisions and circumstances that led them to join the armed struggle inside South Africa and in exile. Siphokazi Magadla discusses the forms of military training they received, combat activities, their personal transformation as women and as combatants, their participation in the South African National Defence Force-led demobilisation process and their contributions to the democratic transformation of the SANDF. By illuminating the different eras and arenas of women's participation, this book shows the broadness of the armed struggle against apartheid as a historical truth and as a matter of gender equality and justice for an inclusive and more democratic future." -- $c Cover. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 197-214) and index 505 0 $a Introduction: 'our lips no longer sealed' -- Mzana: transnational guerrillas -- Combative mothers, Bantu authority and ungovernability -- SANDF integration, demobilisation and gender transformation -- From ukuzabalaza to ukutabalaza: life after apartheid -- Conclusion: 'where their seed can fall and grow. 610 20 $a African National Congress. 610 20 $a Umkhonto we Sizwe (South Africa) 610 27 $a African National Congress. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00549188 610 27 $a Umkhonto we Sizwe (South Africa) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00668781 648 7 $a 1961-1994 $2 fast 650 0 $a Women, Black $z South Africa $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Anti-apartheid movements. 650 0 $a Women soldiers $z South Africa. 650 0 $a Women, Black $x Political activity $z South Africa. 650 0 $a Women anti-apartheid activists $z South Africa. 650 7 $a Anti-apartheid movements. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00810310 650 7 $a Women anti-apartheid activists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177131 650 7 $a Women, Black $x Political activity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178930 650 7 $a Women, Black $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178934 650 7 $a Women soldiers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178559 651 0 $a South Africa $x History $y 1961-1994. 651 7 $a South Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204616 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117013200.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F80F3D383D8C11EE8AE814B62EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
