| Summary: | Tal Zalmanovich explores how television revolutionized the political landscape in postwar Britain and played a pivotal role in the international campaign against apartheid from 1950 to 1990. Drawing on case studies and a diverse array of sources, Zalmanovich argues that television's ability to transcend geographical and temporal boundaries proved instrumental in building a global coalition against apartheid in South Africa. Moreover, she shows how the medium became a key battleground in the broader struggle for racial equality in Britain, where debates over apartheid intersected with contemporary discussions about race, immigration, decolonization, and Cold War politics. |
