Abstract:The clashes in South Africa between the Youth League and the conservative leadership of the African National Congress in 1948 and 1949 and between the African National Congress and the Pan-Africanists in 1958 and 1959 are examples of a conflict in which youth, reacting against the political failures of their immediate elders, take up the tactics of the more distant past. Unknowingly traditional thinkers, they challenge an apathetic authority with seemingly new and exciting alternatives, only to fail in their turn. Notes.
