In 1937, a group of young Capetonians, socialist intellectuals from the Workers' Party of South Africa, embarked on a project to disrupt and challenge prevailing political narratives and the premises on which they were based. The NEF played a vital role in challenging society's responses to events such as the Second World War, the Hertzog Bills, and apartheid. In subsequent narratives of liberation, their significance has been overlooked, even disparaged, and has never been fully understood and acknowledged. By shining a contemporary light on the NEF and locating its contribution in current sociological and political discourse, educationist Crain Soudien shows how its members were at the forefront of redefining the debate about social difference in a racially divided society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 394g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 221 x 118 x 15 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781776143177                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crain Soudien","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44096527040762,"sku":"9781776143177","price":28.12,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/baf992f9641997aa7f3683ed5347977d.jpg?v=1626241016","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/cape-radicals-intellectual-and-political-thought-of-the-new-era-fellowship-1930s-1960s","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
