Description

John S. Saul, born and first educated in Toronto, Canada, moved to Tanzania almost sixty years ago. There, he discovered the centrality of the war for freedom from white rule and global capitalist dictate then taking shape further south - in Mozambique, Angola, Zimbabwe, Namibia and South Africa. Both his scholarly interest and his activist bent drew him to support and to seek to better understand the struggles in these nations-in-the-making, a political choice that now culminates in a final trilogy of books under the general title, The Rethinking Southern African Liberation Trilogy. The first volume of this trilogy, On Building a Social Movement: The North American Campaign for Southern African Liberation Revisited, was published by Africa World Press / Fernwood Books (2017). This book is the second in that trilogy, with a third volume entitled Class, Race and the Thirty Years War for Southern African Liberation - A History set to conclude his work to be published by Cambridge University Press in 2022.
