ABSTRACT In July 1966, the South African Non-Racial Olympic Committee (SANROC) re-emerged in exile in London. The arrival of Dennis Brutus, the coloured Rhodesian-born activist, poet, and educator, into the British capital provided the stimulus to renew calls for the exclusion of apartheid South Africa from international sport. In the years 1966–1970 that marked Brutus’s exile in Britain, SANROC elevated apartheid sport to the world’s attention. As this paper contends, SANROC’s success in discouraging foreign contact and competition with racialist sporting organisations, teams, or individuals from South Africa rested largely on Brutus’s ability to position himself at the nexus of an emergent human rights discourse that dominated the agendas of state institutions and international organisations throughout the 1960s. Brutus skilfully tethered the issue of racism in South African sport to broader discussions of human rights. SANROC’s anti-apartheid activism, however broad its transnational horizons, must also be read in its national context. As this paper will further contend, a deeper comprehension of the political and racial climate of 1960s Britain is central to understanding Brutus and SANROC’s experiences in exile in the years 1966–1970.

丹尼斯·布鲁图斯 (Dennis Brutus) 和流亡中的南非非种族奥林匹克委员会,1966-1970

摘要 1966 年 7 月,南非非种族奥林匹克委员会 (SANROC) 重新出现在伦敦流亡中。出生于罗得西亚的有色人种活动家、诗人和教育家丹尼斯·布鲁图斯 (Dennis Brutus) 来到英国首都,再次激发了将种族隔离南非排除在国际体育运动之外的呼声。在标志着布鲁图斯流亡英国的 1966 年至 1970 年期间,SANROC 将种族隔离运动提升到了世界的关注度。正如本文所主张的那样,SANROC 在阻止与来自南非的种族主义体育组织、团队或个人的外国接触和竞争方面取得的成功在很大程度上取决于布鲁图斯将自己定位在主导国家机构议程和议程的新兴人权话语的纽带中的能力。整个 1960 年代的国际组织。布鲁图斯巧妙地将南非体育中的种族主义问题与更广泛的人权讨论联系在一起。SANROC 的反种族隔离激进主义,无论其跨国视野多么广阔,也必须在其国家背景下阅读。正如本文将进一步论证的那样,深入了解 1960 年代英国的政治和种族气候对于理解 Brutus 和 SANROC 在 1966 年至 1970 年间的流亡经历至关重要。
