Abstract
The cool, and apparently dispassionate analysis of a phenomenon like Black Consciousness cannot forget, that hundred have died for it, thousands were injured, thousands went to jail for it, many are still languishing in jails or under severe banning orders, and hundreds of thousands were so serious about it that in going onto the streets to proclaim it they too risked their livelyhood, their freedom, their limbs end their life for it. The uprisings of 1976 and 1977 have become part of that ongoing liberation struggle, which started with the resistance of the JKe, the Khoi-Khoin and the Bantu tribes in the moment the first white conquerors set foot on the South African Subcontinent and will end only when the subcontinent has been freed from all forms of oppression.
