DESCRIPTION:*Co-hosted by the Centre of International Studies (CIS) in POL
 IS & the Centre of African Studies*\n\n%Chaired by Martin Plaut\, Africa E
 ditor\, BBC World Service News%\n\nThe event will probe important and cont
 roversial themes contained in Paul Trewhela’s new book\, of significance
  to how the histories of liberation movements in Southern Africa are told.
  These contested histories continue to impinge upon contemporary political
  debates on the legitimacy\, practices and credibility of post-liberation 
 political parties and governments. Quatro\, the ANC’s secretive detentio
 n centre in Angola\, was designed to incarcerate infiltrators and rehabili
 tate its own dissidents.  However\, in the eyes of some\, it became a site
  of gross human rights violations. With his book Trewhela suggests that th
 e ANC never came fully to terms with Quatro after the end of apartheid. Pu
 blished in late 2009\, its revelations have spurred vehement responses fro
 m the highest echelons of the ANC\, including Gwede Mantashe\, the ANC’s
  Secretary General.  \n
