The third volume in the series examines the role of antiapartheid movements around the world. The global antiapartheid movement was very successful in creating awareness of the liberation struggle in South Africa, and in contributing to the downfall of the apartheid government.

This third volume in the series, The Road to Democracy in South Africa, examines International Solidarity with the liberation struggle in South Africa. International organisations, governments and anti-apartheid movements around the world played a significant role in creating awareness of the liberation struggle in South Africa, and in contributing to the downfall of the apartheid government.

This volume's strength is that it brings together analyses which in the main are written by activist scholars with deep roots in the movements and organisations they are writing about. It will be a major resource for historians, scholars and anyone interested in the history of South Africa, and will be valued by future generations for its sensitive collection of highly significant historical material.
