Video: Lucien van der Walt - Anarchism and revolutionary syndicalism in Africa

From Kantine Festival
August 3, 2023

Live from the Kantine Sabot 2023

This talk will provide an overview the two main phases of anarchism and revolutionary syndicalism in Africa. The focus will be on southern Africa, and North Africa, but there will be some mention of developments in the eastern and western regions. Tracing the African history of the anarchist/ syndicalist current from the 1860s onwards, it will pay close attention to how it was shaped by the larger context as well as by specific national and regional dynamics. The first phase, from the 1860s-1930s, developed against the larger backdrop of Western colonial expansion, and an early epoch of globalisation; the second phase, from the 1990s onwards, started in the wave of struggles against authoritarian African regimes, and the onset of neo-liberal globalisation.
