Defying Injustice: Lessons from Defeating Apartheid to the Arab Spring

This interactive dialogue, led by Gay McDougall, brings together scholars, researchers and activists from diverse social movements to consider how the fight against apartheid can inform current social movements. Join TCF senior fellow Michael Wahid Hanna and other panelists for this exciting event.

The profound transformations that were the goals of the movement against apartheid are still works in progress. However, the successes to date of those struggles and equally their notable failures have generated lively debates among the architects of later social movements.

What are the linkages between the development of norms and the movement’s success “on the ground?” What organizational and advocacy tactics and strategies were crucial elements in the overall struggle? Does modern technology trump or simply build on organizing lessons from the past?
