EDUCATION, POLITICS AND ORGANISATION: THE
EDUCATIONAL TRADITIONS AND LEGACIES OF THE
NON-EUROPEAN UNITY MOVEMENT 1943-86
       The relationship of education to liberation is an enormously topical
       and debated issue in contemporary South                      Africa.
       LINDA CHISHOLM critically explores a particular tradition of
       political education that flourished in the Coloured schools of the Cape
       through the harshest years of apartheid policies.

DEBATE: CONFERENCE ON WOMEN AND GENDER
IN SOUTHERN AFRICA: ANOTHER VIEW OF THE
DYNAMICS                                                                    83
Durban was the setting in January for the first large conference on
gender issues in a South African university. As PATRICIA HORN
points out, one outcome was the airing of major differences in an as
yet highly-divided movement. Nonetheless she felt that it represented


    a milestone in creating the possibilities for overcoming divisions later.
     HORN is also the author of one of a series of articles in this issue on
     the relationship of feminism to liberation in South Africa. Her piece
    focusses      particularly        on         organisational         needs.
     ANDREW CHARMAN, COBUS DE SWARDT and
     MARY SIMONS take as their touchstone the 1990 ANC
    Malibongwe Conference and the question of ANC discourse on
    gender. While noting the openings created by the advance in position
     in recent papers and declarations, they concentrate on the weak
     conceptualisation of key issues and the need for a stronger theoretical
    grasp of the problem of gender in this society. SHIREEN H A S S I M
    critiques the history and practise of gender politics in the liberation
    context and suggests some of the issues at stake in mobilising women.
     The space is now tiiere, she suggests, for feminist politics if the right
    strategies are pursued.
CAPITAL FLIGHT UNDER APARTHEID                                                 89
     ZAVAREH RUSTOMJEE suggests that a major aspect of capital's
     response to political challenge and upheaval over the past two decades
     in South Africa has been capital flight, a common international
    phenomenon. This creates grave potential problems for directed
    economic change in the future.

RURAL ASPECTS OF THE WHITE PAPER ON LAND
REFORM AND FOUR ACCOMPANYING BILLS                                           104
     MIKE DE KLERK critically examines the recent land reform
    legislation and considers that what may be a skillful interim measure
     will meet insuperable problems if intended as a means of blocking
    more thorough-going change.
