This book examines the tactics of resistance developed by those working for the \u003ci\u003eWeekly Mail\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eNew Nation\u003c\/i\u003e, two opposition newspapers published in South Africa in the mid- and late 1980s. The government, in an attempt to crack down on the massive political resistance sweeping the country, had imposed martial law and imposed even greater restrictions on the press. Bryan Trabold examines the writing, legal, and political strategies developed by those working for these newspapers to challenge the censorship restrictions as much as possible--without getting banned. Despite the many steps taken by the government to silence them, including detaining the editor of \u003ci\u003eNew Nation\u003c\/i\u003e for two years and temporarily closing both newspapers, the \u003ci\u003eWeekly Mail\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eNew Nation\u003c\/i\u003e not only continued to publish but actually increased their circulations and obtained strong domestic and international support. \u003ci\u003eNew Nation\u003c\/i\u003e ceased publication in 1994 after South Africa made the transition to democracy, but the \u003ci\u003eWeekly Mail\u003c\/i\u003e, now the \u003ci\u003eMail \u0026amp; Guardian\u003c\/i\u003e, continues to publish and remains one of South Africa's most respected newspapers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bryan Trabold\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822965445\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822965442\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/17\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2018","brand":"Bryan Trabold","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926549496063,"sku":"9780822965442","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_61393d9c-a747-468f-abfe-0be82f00e232.jpg?v=1681083691","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rhetorics-of-resistance-bryan-trabold-9780822965442","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
