Abstract
- This text examines the role of moral emotions, specifically disgust and loyalty, in the global anti-apartheid movement. Activists used these emotions to create a powerful case against apartheid, framing it as a disease that needed to be isolated. The movement employed strategies such as boycotts, travel restrictions, and targeting individuals and organizations with ties to South Africa. The African National Congress (ANC) played a central role in shaping the movement, with its call for boycott, divestment, and sanctions being followed with religious fervor by its supporters. The article emphasizes the importance of understanding moral emotions in the study of international and global history. [Extracted from the article]
