The Story of Nelson Mandela 100 Years After His Birth

Autor: Myra Faye Turner

Número de Páginas: 238

Can you imagine growing up in a segregated South Africa; under the burden of apartheid? What if you were a member of a royal family; but were expelled from a prestigious university for taking part in a protest -- and then returned home to find a marriage had been arranged for you? This was the early life of the man who would win the Nobel Peace Prize at age 75 and become South Africa's first democratically elected president at age 76. The young Nelson Mandela changed his opinion of the government he once trusted and dedicated himself to changing the future of all South African people; regardless of the color of their skin. This book will introduce you to Nelson Mandela before he became an international icon for integration and peaceful coexistence. You'll learn about his upbringing; his time as a lawyer; his arrest; his 27-year political imprisonment; and his presidential election. You will come to appreciate the man who called himself "fundamentally an optimist" for his charisma; style; and peaceful nature; and you'll learn about how; even as a man in chains; he fostered a community that believed in desegregation and the open exchange of ideas. Mandela's patience and...

Mandela's story in words and pictures

Nelson Mandela

Autor: Peter Limb

Número de Páginas: 166

Everyone should know the life story of Nelson Mandela, one of the greatest leaders of all time, the first black president of South Africa, the most famous African, and a major world statesman. His inspiring life receives a fresh retelling in this new biography written especially for students and general readers. This volume is an enjoyable, authoritative, and balanced way to not only understand a great man, but also to understand a critical time in world history and race relations. Mandela's quest for racial justice for black South Africans as a leader of the African National Congress led to twenty-seven years of imprisonment. South African Apartheid consumed the attention of the world, coming to a head in the 1980s. With intense international pressure on the Apartheid government, Mandela was finally freed in 1990. Through the landmark presidency of South Africa and post Nobel Peace Prize years up until today, he has continued as a peacemaker and agent for change. Chapter 1 covers his birth into a strong Xhosa family and clan, with cultural, historical, and geographical context, and the next chapter follows his elite education path, taking into consideration the forces and people...

Reassessing Mandela

Autor: Colin Bundy , William Beinart

Número de Páginas: 347

Seven years since his death (2013), Nelson Mandela still occupies an extraordinary place in the global imagination. Internationally, Mandela’s renown seems intact and invulnerable. In South Africa, however, his legacy and his place in the country’s history have become matters of contention and dispute, especially amongst younger black South Africans. The essays in this book analyse aspects of Mandela’s life in the context of South Africa’s national history, and make an important contribution to the historiography of the anti-apartheid political struggle. They reassess: the political context of Mandela’s youth; his changing political beliefs and connections with the Left; his role in the African National Congress and the turn to armed struggle; his marriage to Winnie Madikizela-Mandela and their political relationship. By providing new context, they explore Mandela as an actor in broader social processes such as the rise of the ANC and the making of South Africa’s post-apartheid constitution. The detailed essays are linked in a substantial introduction by Colin Bundy and current debates are addressed in a concluding essay by Elleke Boehmer. This book provides a...

A brief biography of an icon like Nelson Mandela is a difficult undertaking. This offering is ideal for someone, not from Africa, who would like to know what motivated a man to give his life to a cause that would see him spend the most productive years of his life in jail. Inside you will read about... ✓ A boy in rural South Africa ✓ Egoli...place of gold ✓ The African National Congress and the birth of an activist ✓ The Treason Trial ✓ Underground for the armed struggle ✓ The Soweto Uprising – the beginning of the end ✓ Pollsmoor Prison..."a modern face but a primitive heart." To understand this, the reader must have an insight into the context of life in South Africa during the Apartheid era. But, they also need to know how the intense, unbreakable bond between the leaders of the African National Congress was forged and the effect the reluctant decision to form the armed wing, Umkhonto we Sizwe, had on them. The author has included references to and quotes from his autobiography, Long Walk to Freedom which reveals some of "Madiba's" personal anguish.

The Prison Letters of Nelson Mandela

Autor: Nelson Mandela

Número de Páginas: 640

One of NPR's Great Reads of 2018 An unforgettable portrait of one of the most inspiring historical figures of the twentieth century, published on the centenary of his birth. Arrested in 1962 as South Africa’s apartheid regime intensified its brutal campaign against political opponents, forty-four-year-old lawyer and African National Congress activist Nelson Mandela had no idea that he would spend the next twenty-seven years in jail. During his 10,052 days of incarceration, the future leader of South Africa wrote a multitude of letters to unyielding prison authorities, fellow activists, government officials, and, most memorably, to his courageous wife, Winnie, and his five children. Now, 255 of these letters, many of which have never been published, provide exceptional insight into how Mandela maintained his inner spirits while living in almost complete isolation, and how he engaged with an outside world that became increasingly outraged by his plight. Organized chronologically and divided by the four venues in which he was held as a sentenced prisoner, The Prison Letters of Nelson Mandela begins in Pretoria Local Prison, where Mandela was held following his 1962 trial. In 1964,...

Autor: Ndileka Mandela

Celebrated and honoured across the globe for its bearer's selfless role in the liberation of South Africa, the name Mandela has become an iconic brand. Nelson Mandela's life was dedicated to politics and achieving freedom for the oppressed in the country, which left him little time with his children and loved ones.

Nelson Mandela was a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary, politician, and philanthropist, who served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999. He was the country's first black head of state and the first elected in a fully representative democratic election. His government focused on dismantling the legacy of apartheid by tackling institutionalised racism and fostering racial reconciliation. Ideologically an African nationalist and socialist, he served as President of the African National Congress (ANC) party from 1991 to 1997. A Xhosa, Mandela was born in Mvezo to the Thembu royal family. He studied law at the University of Fort Hare and the University of the Witwatersrand before working as a lawyer in Johannesburg. There he became involved in anti-colonial and African nationalist politics, joining the ANC and co-founding its Youth League.
