Finally, as part of the preparation for a major Pan-African nonviolence gathering and War Resisters International conference on the “continuum of nonviolence” to be held in Cape Town, South Africa, 4-8 July 2014, I outlined some of the history in “African Groundings,” a piece for a special issue of The Broken Rifle dedicated to African unarmed resistance, here:
