Exhibition Annotation:
The Del Monte Corporation, one of the largest producers, distributors, and marketers of food and pet products in the U.S., was the target of a boycott campaign during the 1970s and 80s because of its involvement in the Namibian fishing industry. The Del Monte boycott campaign was initiated in response to a call by the South West Africa People’s Organization (SWAPO), which was the liberation movement pushing for Namibian independence from South African control. One major achievement of this campaign was its success in building alliances with other social justice movements including groups working on issues related to Guatemala, the Philippines, and labor rights, all of which came together to pressure Del Monte to change its business practices.
