description: Drawing on interviews with a particular generation of South Africans and their children, this book traces how-South Africans in the United Kingdom developed the political organizations and social networks as well as the ideologies and identities that supported their time in exile. It examines the early histories of the African National Congress in exile and the Anti-Apartheid Movement, and documents the violent attempts by the South African police, military and intelligence services to control exile activity in Britain. Finally, it investigates how exiles came to terms with the changes in South Africa and the possibility that they too might return.
