Movement Matters: American Antiapartheid Activism and the Rise of Multicultural Politics. By David L. Hostetter. (New York: Rout- ledge, 2006. x, 214 pp. $70.00, ISBN 0-415-97811-4.)
David L. Hostetter's Movement Matters is an eclectic collection of essays on the anti-apartheid movement in the United States. They are of uneven quality and seem to have been written at different times and for different audiences. There are bits of history, descriptions of institutions and persons, and the author's opinions on the meaning of the anti-apartheid movement. Chapters 1, 2, and 3 are bits of institutional histories; chapter 4 examines the theme of apartheid in popular culture; chapter 5 touches on an eclectic series of themes that have little to do with the anti-apartheid movement; while the conclusion makes a case for postmodernism.	1
The first three chapters examine the histories of the American Committee on Africa (ACOA), the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), and TransAfrica. Those essays are short overviews of mostly secondary-sourcebased accounts of the activities of these organizations. The first two essays are more comprehensive and use some primary sources, but the piece on TransAfrica is based on secondary sources and shows little familiarity with the origins, internal dynamics, or ideological perspectives of the organization's leadership.	. . .
