This book includes contributions from NGO workers, academics and social movement activists in order to provide varying perspectives on what possible role NGOs can rightly play in popular struggles. Consequently, the book does not have a single message about what role NGOs ought to play in struggles for social justice, but rather invites careful reflection and critical discussion on their role both in South Africa and further afield. 650 0 $a Non-governmental organizations $z South Africa. 650 0 $a Social justice $z South Africa. 650 7 $a Non-governmental organizations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01038524 650 7 $a Social justice. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122603 651 7 $a South Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204616 700 1 $a Matthews, S. $q (Sally) 830 0 $a Thinking Africa. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017021453.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=91239588E96D11E8978F920F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
