In 2008, Jacana Media proposed republishing a revised and updated second edition of the entire From Protest to Challenge series, which is a multi-volume account of the struggle to achieve democracy and end racial discrimination in South Africa. Professor Gail Gerhart agreed to oversee the revisions and, within the limits of space and time available, to update the original series to take into account more recent academic work by other authors. We are now adding the revised and updated second edition of Volume 1: Protest and Hope 1882‰ۡóÁÌ_́ÌÎÌ_?ÌÎÌ_?1934 to the new books already published: Volume 3: Challenge and Violence 1953‰ۡóÁÌ_́ÌÎÌ_?ÌÎÌ_?1964; Volume 5: Nadir and Resurgence 1964‰ۡóÁÌ_́ÌÎÌ_?ÌÎÌ_?1979, and Volume 6: Challenge and Victory 1980‰ۡóÁÌ_́ÌÎÌ_?ÌÎÌ_?1990.
The second edition of From Protest to Challenge is different in several ways from the first. The three oldest documentary volumes have been reorganised into conventional chapters to make them more user-friendly. All the documentary volumes now contain maps and photographs, as well as more comprehensive indexes than those in the original series.
Volume 1: Protest and Hope 1882‰ۡóÁÌ_́ÌÎÌ_?ÌÎÌ_?1934 consists of ninety-nine primary source documents, accompanied by a text that sets the documents in historical context. Authors of the documents include John Dube, Josiah Gumede, John Tengo Jabavu, Clements Kadalie, Charlotte Maxeke, Sol Plaatje and Pixley Seme, with new documents by Abdullah Abdurahman, Margery Perham, Mohandas Gandhi, and the Communist Party of South Africa.
