The Royal African Society, African Affairsand Apartheid: the Mustoe Controversy OF 1970
研究了1970年皇家非洲学会副主席马斯托为南非种族隔离辩护引发的争议，该事件标志着英帝国与英联邦的转型、英国反种族隔离运动政治化以及南非的国际孤立。
Abstract Divisions between the Royal African Society and its flagship journal African Affairs emerged in 1970 when the Vice-President of the Society, Nelson Mustoe Q.C., defended South African apartheid as ‘moral, feasible and reasonable.’ This statement, part of a letter to The Times , was offered in support of the upcoming Springbok cricket tour of Britain. The letter elicited a backlash from various groups, including the scholars behind African Affairs , and the political pressure led to the cancellation of the tour. This paper argues that the Mustoe controversy was an emblematic moment, symbolizing the transition of British Empire and commonwealth, the beginning of the political activism phase of the anti-apartheid movement in Britain, and South Africa's isolation on the world stage.
