The UN Security Council imposed a mandatory international arms embargo on South Africa in response to the killing of Steve Biko and the broader repression of apartheid, the first such binding embargo against a member state.

The pressure combined with internal unrest to increasingly isolate the apartheid government. diplomacy / politics ●●
  35. 19 November 1977 Prince Hall Freemasons initiated at De Goede Hoop Temple 0 cit. On 19 November 1977, following negotiations with the government of Prime Minister John Vorster, members of the Prince Hall Masonic tradition were initiated, passed, and raised at the De Goede Hoop Temple in Cape Town, the first time the Grand Lodge of South Africa admitted non-white members. For most of the apartheid era, from 1948 onward, mainstream South African lodges had been a de facto white-only institution, with Prince Hall-affiliated lodges operating as separate structures serving Black and Coloured members who were barred from joining. politics / society ●●●
  36. 27 June 1977 Djibouti becomes independent, France keeps its largest African base 0 cit. France granted independence to Djibouti, its last African colony, while negotiating a defense accord that let it retain what became its largest permanent military base on the continent. The base has remained central to French (and later joint French-US-Japanese-Chinese) military presence in the Horn of Africa, and Djibouti's economy has stayed heavily dependent on rents paid for hosting foreign forces. diplomacy / war ●●
  37. c. 1977 Jamaica and other Caribbean states adopt IMF programs amid 1970s crisis 0 cit. Jamaica's government under Michael Manley, after pursuing more independent economic policies including bauxite-industry nationalization steps, turned to the IMF for balance-of-payments support and accepted conditions requiring currency devaluation and spending cuts. Manley later wrote critically about the experience, arguing it showed how little room newly independent, commodity-dependent economies had to set policy against the preferences of international lenders. economy
  38. July 1977 Commander Kenneth Drury convicted of corruption 0 cit.

  40. c. April 1977 Combahee River Collective Statement shapes Black feminism 0 cit.

  41. 1977 The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act 0 cit. Bananagate, alongside other corporate bribery scandals of the 1970s, pushed Congress to pass the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The law made it a crime for American companies to bribe foreign officials. It marked a first attempt to rein in the corporate statecraft that firms like United Fruit had long practiced abroad. economy / politics ●●
  42. 1977 The Economist coins "Dutch disease" 0 cit. The Economist used the phrase "Dutch disease" to describe how the Netherlands' natural gas boom pushed up its currency and hurt its other exports and manufacturing. The pattern generalizes: a sudden rush of resource money can hollow out the rest of an economy, leaving a country more dependent on the one commodity. Economists still use the term for oil and mineral states that fail to build anything beyond the mine or well. economy ●●
  43. 1977 The 'Dutch disease' names the resource curse 0 cit. The Economist coins 'Dutch disease' to describe how a natural-gas boom can raise a currency and hollow out a country's other industries. The idea fed into the wider 'resource curse' thesis, later named by Richard Auty, that mineral wealth often brings slower growth, weaker institutions, and dependence on a single export. Economists still debate how strong and how avoidable the effect is. economy / politics ●●
  44. July 1977 Zia-ul-Haq and the Afghan war effort 0 cit. General Zia-ul-Haq seized power, hanged elected leader Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and imposed hardline Islamist military rule.

Cold War need overrode Western concern about his repression and nuclear program. politics / war ●●●

  46. 1977 Chandler names the visible hand of management 0 cit. The historian Alfred Chandler published The Visible Hand, arguing that in big modern business the coordinating work Adam Smith gave to the market's invisible hand was instead done by the visible hand of salaried managers, working through accounting and internal reporting. The book won a Pulitzer and framed how scholars understand managerial capitalism, though later historians have qualified its sweep. culture / economy / society ●●
  47. 1977 Have Blue and the secret F-117 stealth fighter 0 cit. Lockheed's Have Blue prototype proved that a strangely angled aircraft could be nearly invisible to radar, leading to the F-117 Nighthawk. The plane flew combat missions for years before the Air Force admitted it existed in 1988, a clear example of how far real black-project technology outran what the public knew. science / technology / war ●●
  48. c. 1977 The Critique: A Nationalist Who Preserved the Colonial Order 0 cit. One reading holds that Kenyatta was a conservative nationalist who kept the colonial state largely intact and threw in his lot with the propertied and loyalist class, betraying the fighters who had bled for the land. The novelist Ngugi wa Thiong'o, detained without trial under Kenyatta in 1977, gave this view its sharpest literary form, and historians such as Daniel Branch and David Anderson trace how loyalists rather than rebels inherited power. This is presented here as attributed argument, not settled fact. culture / politics ●●●
  49. July 1977 The Ogaden War and the Cold War switch of patrons 0 cit. Somalia invaded the Somali-inhabited Ogaden region of Ethiopia in 1977, aiming to complete the Greater Somalia project after revolution had weakened Ethiopia. In a dramatic Cold War reversal, the Soviet Union and Cuba switched sides to back Ethiopia's new Marxist government, pouring in advisers, weapons, and Cuban troops. Somalia broke with Moscow and turned to the United States for support, flipping the region's alliances. diplomacy / politics / war ●●●
  50. c. 1977 The Red Terror under Mengistu and the Derg 0 cit. As Mengistu Haile Mariam rose to the top of the Derg, the regime unleashed a campaign against rival leftist groups, above all the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Party. Neighbourhood squads carried out killings, torture, and mass detention, and families were sometimes made to pay for the bullets used on their dead. Estimates of those killed range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, and the figures remain debated. politics / war ●●●
  51. July 1977 The Ogaden War with Somalia 0 cit. Somalia invaded the Somali-inhabited Ogaden region, hoping to seize it while Ethiopia was in revolutionary chaos. In a striking Cold War switch, the Soviet Union and Cuba dropped their former ally Somalia and poured arms and troops into Ethiopia, helping it repel the invasion by 1978. The war cemented the Derg as a Soviet client and reshaped alliances across the Horn of Africa. diplomacy / war ●●
  52. 27 June 1977 Djibouti hosts France's largest base in Africa 0 cit. Djibouti gains independence but France keeps a large garrison under a defence pact, its biggest permanent base on the continent. Along with sites in Senegal, Ivory Coast, Gabon and Chad, it anchors a network of French forces that outlives the colonial era. The bases give Paris the reach to intervene quickly across the region. diplomacy / war ●●
  53. May 1977 Kenya bans hunting and hardens the poaching line 0 cit. Kenya banned all hunting, ending licensed sport hunting but also cementing that any local killing of wildlife was poaching. Communities living beside parks now bore the cost of crop-raiding elephants and lost livestock with no legal way to use wildlife. Enforcement focused on catching African hunters, while the earlier era of licensed white hunters was over. environment / politics / society ●●
  54. 31 December 1977 Ngugi wa Thiong'o is detained and Kamiriithu theatre banned 0 cit. After his Gikuyu-language play about class and land was staged by villagers at the Kamiriithu community centre, the writer Ngugi wa Thiong'o was detained without trial for about a year. The authorities later banned performances and razed the open-air theatre. His jailing showed how far the state would go to silence work that reached ordinary people in their own language. politics / society ●●●
  55. 1977 Wangari Maathai founds the Green Belt Movement 1 cit. Wangari Maathai launched the Green Belt Movement under the National Council of Women of Kenya, paying rural women to plant trees and restore degraded land. What began as an answer to fuelwood shortages and soil erosion grew into a wide grassroots network. The movement tied care for the land to women's livelihoods and civic organizing. environment / society ●●●
  56. 5 June 1977 Wangari Maathai starts the Green Belt Movement 0 cit. Wangari Maathai founded the Green Belt Movement in 1977, organising rural women to plant trees against deforestation and erosion. The work gave women income, standing, and a reason to organise, and it grew into millions of trees and thousands of trained women. It also became a base for challenging the state over land, forests, and democracy. Maathai put women back at the centre of public life around the land they had always worked. economy / society ●●●
  57. December 1977 Ngugi wa Thiong'o detained for a play 0 cit. Ngugi wa Thiong'o was already a leading novelist when he and Ngugi wa Mirii staged the Gikuyu-language play Ngaahika Ndeenda, I Will Marry When I Want, with villagers at Kamiriithu in Limuru. Its sharp view of inequality after independence alarmed the government, which closed the theatre and detained Ngugi without trial in late 1977. In prison he wrote a novel on toilet paper and resolved to write in Gikuyu rather than English. He spent years in exile and argued for African languages in his book Decolonising the Mind. culture / politics ●●●
  58. 1977 Kenya's 1977 hunting ban forces the Ogiek toward farming 5 cit. Kenya's nationwide ban on hunting outlawed a core part of Ogiek subsistence and pushed many families into settled agriculture and livestock keeping. Combined with continued eviction from reserved forest, the ban reshaped a way of life built on mobility and the forest. Some Ogiek kept beekeeping alive alongside the new crops. economy / environment / politics ●●
  59. 1977 The 1977 hunting ban deepens Waata marginalisation 3 cit. Kenya's total hunting ban finished the outlawing of Waata subsistence begun under colonial game laws. Many struggled to make a living from farming in dry, poor country, and some turned to illegal ivory trading or charcoal burning while others drifted to towns. The Waata slid into poverty and near-invisibility as a distinct people. economy / politics / society ●●
  60. December 1977 Government moves to acquire Kisima Farm land at Timau 1 cit. In late 1977 the Commissioner of Lands issued Gazette notices for compulsory acquisition proceedings over two Timau land portions farmed by Kisima Farm as one unit. A 1978 High Court judgment records that Kisima was also in the process of being sold to Katheri Farmers Co. The case captures Timau as a postcolonial land-transfer arena, not just a settled agricultural landscape. economy / politics ●●●
