In a practice reminiscent of Tsarist and Soviet Russia, a large number of 'enemies of the state' were banished to remote areas, far from their homes, communities and followers. Here their existence became 'a slow torture of the soul', a kind of social death. This is the first study of an important but hitherto neglected group of opponents of apartheid, set in a global, historical and comparative perspective. It looks at the reasons why people were banished, their lives in banishment and the efforts of a remarkable group of activists, led by Helen Joseph, to assist them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47891011240087,"sku":"9789004246331","price":9435.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789004246331.webp?v=1781182042","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-forgotten-people-political-banishment-under-apartheid-9789004246331","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
