• W4283797690 abstract "ABSTRACTABSTRACTHistories of bus boycotts and of the taxi business in apartheid South Africa have been told with male activists and taxi entrepreneurs as the protagonists. Women’s oral histories reframe transportation history to include the experiences of commuters. This article is a history of travel by African Christian women’s organizations (manyanos) in the township of Mdantsane. Township infrastructure presented barriers to these social organizations, but in the 1960s and 1970s manyanos adapted their mobility practices to attract members. The bus boycotts of the 1980s and the growth of the taxi industry were connected to protest against the apartheid order. However, this revolution in transportation had ambiguous consequences for commuters. As dissatisfied commuters in the late-apartheid urban landscape, manyano women continued to innovate travelling strategies to maintain local and long-distance connections. Their experiences show that commuters, as well as governments and transport-owners, shape the possibilities of urban travel in twentieth-century Africa.RÉSUMÉLes histoires des boycotts du transport en autobus et des compagnies de taxis en Afrique du Sud à l'ère de l'apartheid ont été racontées par des hommes activistes et entrepreneurs de taxi comme protagonistes. Les récits oraux des femmes recadrent l'histoire des transports pour y inclure les expériences des navetteurs. Cet article porte sur l'histoire des déplacements des associations de femmes africaines chrétiennes (Manyanos) dans le township de Mdantsane. L'infrastructure des townships comportait des obstacles à ces organisations sociales, mais dans les années 60 et 70, les Manyanos ont adapté leurs pratiques de mobilité pour attirer des membres. Les boycotts du transport en autobus des années 80 et la croissance de l'industrie du taxi étaient liés aux protestations contre le système de l'apartheid. Cependant, cette révolution dans les transports a eu des conséquences ambiguës pour les navetteurs. En tant que navetteuses insatisfaites dans le paysage urbain des dernières années de l'apartheid, les femmes manyanos ont continué à innover dans leurs stratégies de déplacement pour maintenir des connexions locales et à longue distance. Leurs expériences montrent que les navetteurs, de même que les gouvernements et les propriétaires des compagnies de transport, ont façonné les possibilités de déplacements urbains en Afrique du vingtième siècle.KEYWORDS: South Africaapartheidtransportationwomenoral historyMOTS-CLÉS: Afrique du Sudapartheidtransportsfemmeshistoire orale This article is part of the following collections: African Studies in Canada: A sample of recent articles in CJAS AcknowledgementsI am grateful to the interviewees who welcomed me in their homes and shared their stories.
