Students Must Rise (EPUB) von Ann Heffernan

Drawing on research by leading scholars and prominent activists, Students Must Rise looks at student and youth activism in South Africa, considering what happened before and beyond the Soweto moment. Rethinks the conventional narrative of youth and student activism by placing the 1976 students’ uprising in Soweto in a deeper historical context.
