Abstract:
This thesis examines the relationship between segregationist organisations, publications and individuals in the United States and their pro-apartheid counterparts in southern Africa. It uncovers a sustained and extensive foreign policy of segregationists that has hitherto been overlooked and a relationship between the countries that goes beyond existing analyses of Cold War cooperation or comparative studies of the countries' racial systems. When the civil rights movement began, steadfast segregationists in the American South looked further afield for support, inspiration and ideological affir

Young white men have often found themselves bearing the burden of designs for the improvement of UK society.

In response, this thesis complicates the ways in which young white men in Burnley, a town affected by the violence, may be appreciated as politically capable.
