These two volumes, which are meant as companion volumes to the book The Historical Roots of the ANC (published by Jacana in November 2010), provide a selection of important documents and texts that have influenced the political and policy thinking of the ANC during the course of its history. Included are historic accounts and statements by the ANC and its leading figures and by other influential African and international thinkers and statesmen like Kwame Nkrumah, Frantz Fanon and Julius Nyerere.
