Southern Africa
“Southern Africa: A Monthly Survey of News and Opinion, initially called the Rhodesian News Summary, was published by the Southern Africa Committee in New York from 1965 to 1983. The Southern Africa Committee was founded in 1964 by the National Student Christian Federation (later University Christian Movement), which was involved in early divestment demonstrations and had close links with the University Christian Movement in South Africa during the early stages of the Black Consciousness Movement.
“Southern Africa began as a response to the Unilateral Declaration of Independence (UDI) by the white-minority regime in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and initially was limited to brief summaries of news from the U.S. and British press. Edited and produced almost entirely by volunteers, with occasional part-time paid staff, the magazine evolved until it covered the entire Southern African region as well as U.S. policy, incorporating information and articles received from both African and U.S. contributors. A regular 'Action News and Notes' section, provided a round-up of solidarity and anti-apartheid protests around the United States. Especially during the 1970s, when its circulation rose to more than 4000 subscribers, the magazine became a key communication resource for activists. However, in the early 1980s, many of the key volunteers became increasingly active on other fronts. This, combined with insufficient financing, made continued publication unfeasible. April 1983 was the last issue of Southern Africa.” – William Minter
