Abstract
The study concerns the politics and practices of one of the oldest teachers organisation's in the Western Cape, the Teachers' League of South Africa (TLSA/League), during the mid-to-Iate 1980s when it was operating secretively underground. Specific attention is paid to League members attitudes and responses to the 1985-1986 school boycott and to the educational initiative 'People's Education For People's Power'. Key sources for the study are interviews conducted with League members who were active during the 1985-89 period, and an examination of The Educational Journal among other relevant archival and documentary material.
