Irish Anti-Apartheid Movement (IAAM)

Ireland

The Irish AAM was established in 1964 and functioned till 1994.  It was co-founded by Kader Asmal (who later became a South African MP and cabinet member) and started with sport, cultural, economic and academic boycott and grew into an organisation that was active in all areas of anti-apartheid and solidarity. It gave direct support to the liberation movements and worked closely with the ANC. It continues activities under the name of Ireland South Africa Association.

The UWC/RIM Mayibuye Archives holds the entire archive of the organisation, covering the period 1961-1989.
