The Terrorist Album: Apartheid’s Insurgents, Collaborators, and the Security Police

Jacob Dlamini, journalist and assistant professor of history, takes a surviving South African terrorist album — a covert collection of photographs of apartheid’s enemies that was distributed to police stations in the second half of the 20th century — and interviews some of the surviving subjects. Dlamini offers a comprehensive history of this album and frank look at apartheid’s legacy today in The Terrorist Album: Apartheid’s Insurgents, Collaborators, and the Security Police (Harvard University Press).
