The Material Basis of Worker Subjectivity: Rock Drill Operators on the South African Platinum Mines in Historical Perspective

The influence of Christianity on the South African society It was not the intention of the first Christians to change the world, but their behaviour soon influenced society. The Euro- pean settlers who came to South Africa brought calvinist Christianity to the region. For the next 340 years, Christianity was a very influential force in the South African society, usually taken for granted by Christians and not allowed to be ques- tioned, challenged or opposed by non-Christians. Today the society bears both the scars and medals of the Christian era in South African history although South Africa was never officially a Christian country. After 1994, South Africa became a neutral state, with religious freedom, and the privileged position of Christianity began to fade rapidly. More than ten years later, however, the influence that Christianity had on the country and its people is still visible. This article is an introductory investi- gation into the influence of Christianity on the South African society from an historical perspective.

Apartheid Regime

This chapter provides a historical perspective on how political consumerism was applied within the South African and British anti-apartheid movements, specifically addressing the role that consumer boycott campaigns played in undermining the apartheid regime. The chapter will first discuss the rise of boycott campaigns in apartheid South Africa and how one of these campaigns eventually spread to Britain and assisted in the creation of the British Anti-Apartheid Movement. The chapter will then discuss how increasingly violent state suppression in South Africa resulted in the rise of alternative forms of local resistance and how it galvanised the outside world to expand their use of the boycott tactic. Finally, the chapter will focus on the resurgence of local resistance in South Africa and how both local and international consumer boycott campaigns assisted in the fall of apartheid.
