TOMORROW IT COULD BE YOU - TRACY CARSON KARTONI...

Tomorrow It Could Be You unearths the historical significance of strikes and boycotts between
1978 and 1982 in South Africa's Cape Province and explores their vital role in strengthening
the country's growing political movement. Drawing on archival research and interviews with
union leaders  community activists  employers and workers  the author critically analyses a
linchpin period between the early rise of independent unionism  following the Durban strikes of
1973  and the growth of mass political unionism in South Africa in the shape of the Congress of
South African Trade Unions (1985). The book traces the evolution of political alliances between
labour organisations and community activists through careful examination of four key strikes
and boycotts: Eveready Battery (1978)  Fatti's & Moni's (1979)  red meat (1980) and
Wilson-Rowntree (1981-1982). The author's analysis reveals how these initial events changed the
nature of South African protest  laying the groundwork for larger  more successful uprisings
against the apartheid regime.
