Shouldn't this be moved to British Anti-Apartheid Movement instead, since there are also mentions of an Irish Anti-Apartheid Movement (see Kader Asmal)? dewet|™ 11:56, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. In my opinion, it is a grave insult to South Africans to suggest that a movement in the United Kingdom was solely or mainly responsible for the end of apartheid. Marco polo 21:35, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
also agreed. It is perhaps rather Anglocentric. The movement was not in any case too general, but restricted to actual apartheid in South South Africa by people from Britain, whatever their origin. The apartheid-like tactics against Palestinians in the West Bank, or more recent actions in Darfur since the renaming, are not for instance covered by this movement.

It would be absurd to rename this section anything other than "Anti-Aparteid Movement". I was an activist in the Anti-Apartheid Movement, and it was called the "Anti-Apartheid Movement", and not the "British Anti-Apartheid Movement". To now ahistorically add some sort of qualifier, would create confusion, and lead to someone else starting a new page called "Anti-Apartheid Movement" when they can't find this one. I have to add that Apartheid never actually operated in Britain, and to have named the movement the "British Anti-Apartheid Movement" would have created that misleading impression. If anyone knows of a separate movement in another country which had a different name, then why not write a separate page for it, and put in a disambiguation paragraph and a cross-link? --Labour Lawyer (talk) 22:34, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What about New Zealand and Australia? This article just talks about the Anti Apartheid movement in Britain- should there be a link to British Apartheid in Ireland? or maybe Apartheid policies in Australia and Aotearoa? The article is solely about the Anti Apartheied (SA) in 'Britain'.

Did you know Australian Uions supported anti-Apartheid in South Africa From the 1950s, The Federal Government supported boycotts by the 1970s and even a Conservative-Liberal PM visited Nelson Mandela. This Article is about the anti-Apartheid (SA) solidarity movement in 'Britain'. 124.170.116.223 (talk) 11:23, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed New Article[edit]

Dear All,

As a student at Rice University currently taking a course on "Poverty, Justice, and Human Capabilities," I am considering creating a new article on "Anti-Apartheid Movement in the United States" which will be linked to this article. While articles on subtopics such as the Free South Africa Movement and the Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act exist, there is currently no parent article on anti-apartheid movement in the United States. In the new article I will be creating, I plan to cover the origins of the anti-apartheid movement in the U.S. beginning from the Civil Rights Movement, followed by a section on demonstrations across U.S. colleges and universities, and ending with U.S. sports and cultural boycotts against South Africa. For a complete list of references and planned work, please visit my User Page and sandbox.

Dear All,

I have read the author's revised article and the author does well in presenting the topic in a clear and neutral way. I am impressed by the comprehensiveness and conciseness of the article. I would suggest the author further work on this article and add more sources to the currently unsourced statement. I would also suggest the author to adding more links to the terms that first appear in the article; this will increase the readability of the article. Overall, excellent job! I look forward to reading your final contribution. Derek.hx08 (talk) 03:43, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

TheThe Anti-Apartheid Movement (AAM), was a British organisation that was at the centre of the international movement opposing the South African apartheid system and supporting South Africa's non-White population who were persecuted by the policies of apartheid.[1] The AAM changed its name to ACTSA: Action for Southern Africa in 1994, when South Africa achieved majority rule through free and fair elections, in which all races could vote.
