Elements in publishing and book culture 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 520 $a In many parts of the world, oppositional publishing has emerged in contexts of state oppression. In South Africa, censorship laws were enacted in the 1960s, and the next decade saw increased pressure on freedom of speech and publishing. With growing restrictions on information, activist publishing emerged. These highly politicised publishers had a social responsibility, to contribute to social change. In spite of their cultural, political and social importance, no academic study of their history has yet been undertaken. This Element aims to fill that gap by examining the history of the most vocal and arguably the most radical of this group, Ravan Press. Using archival material, interviews and the books themselves, this Element examines what the history of Ravan reveals about the role of oppositional print culture. 610 20 $a Ravan Press $x History. 650 0 $a Publishers and publishing $z South Africa $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Social change $z South Africa $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Censorship $z South Africa $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Apartheid $z South Africa. 650 0 $a Anti-apartheid movements $z South Africa. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781108660990 830 0 $a Cambridge elements. $p Elements in publishing and book culture 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210903015614.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2FE4CE62C43111EB854196005EECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
