This approach adds new dimensions to the rich literatures on the Global Cold War and on solidarity movements. The contributors trace the ways that ideas and practices were made, adopted, and circulated through time and space through a focus on African soldiers, politicians and diplomats. The book also asks what motivated the men and women who crossed borders to join liberation movements, how Cold War influences were acted upon, interpreted and used, and why certain moments, venues and relations took on exaggerated importance. The connections among liberation movements, between them and their hosts, and across an extraordinarily diverse set of external actors reveal surprising exchanges and lasting legacies that have too often been obscured by the assertion of monolithic national histories. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracing an extraordinarily diverse set of interactions and exchanges, \u003ci\u003eTransnational Histories of Southern Africa's Liberation Movement\u003c\/i\u003es will be of great interest to scholars of Southern Africa, Transnational History, the Cold War and African Politics.
