Thabo Mbeki
Author: Mark Gevisser
Publisher: Jonathan Ball Publishers
ISBN: 1868425452
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 913
Book Description
What happens to a dream deferred? This question, from one of Thabo Mbeki's favourite poems by Langston Hughes, provides the thread for this magisterial biography of the second president of a democratic South Africa. In the long shadow of Nelson Mandela, Mbeki attempted to forge an identity for himself as the symbol of modern Africa. Mark Gevisser brings to life the voices and places that made Thabo Mbeki: the frontier of the Eastern Cape; 'Swinging' Britain and neo-Stalinist Moscow in the 1960s; the fraught world of African exile; the confusion of the transition. He examines the meaning of home and exile; of fatherhood and family. He tells the story of South Africa's black elite over a turbulent century - from 'black Englishman' to revolutionaries to heads of state - and Mbeki's own transition from doctrinaire communism to economic liberalism. Thabo Mbeki: The Dream Deferred is a work of deep scholarship and a gripping, highly readable story. By tracing the path of Mbeki's life, it sheds new light on his political personality and provides unprecedented insight into the dramatic role he has played in South African history.

Africa, 1941-1961
Author: United States. Office of Strategic Services
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Africa
Languages : en
Pages : 64
Book Description
"Covers a key two-decade period of anti-colonialism, at the close of which nearly a dozen African nations achieved independence. Developments in Rhodesia and South Africa foreshadowed later events and conditions in those countries. These reports are for the most part detailed historical and political monographs, written to inform U.S. and Allied leaders of past, and present conditions and future prospects in Africa. The OSS/State Department reports were written by highly respected academics and other researchers; writers in the series included Herbert Marcuse, Norman O. Brown, John King Fairbank, and Cora DuBois. Representative of the reports are the following titles: 'Political Parties and Personalities in Tunisia' (1950); 'Survey of Tanganyika' (1943); 'The Capacity of Eritrea for Independence' (1950); 'Trans-African Overland Routes: Ports, Railroads, Rivers and Lakes, Roads' (1942)"--The Library of Congress Guide to the Microform Collections in the Humanities and Social Sciences Division, online version.

Pioneers of the Field
Author: Andrew Bank
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1316720950
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
Focusing on the crucial contributions of women researchers, Andrew Bank demonstrates that the modern school of social anthropology in South Africa was uniquely female-dominated. The book traces the personal and intellectual histories of six remarkable women through the use of a rich cocktail of archival sources, including family photographs, private and professional correspondence, field-notes and field diaries, published and other public writings and even love letters. The book also sheds new light on the close connections between their personal lives, their academic work and their anti-segregationist and anti-apartheid politics. It will be welcomed by anthropologists, historians and students in African studies interested in the development of social anthropology in twentieth-century Africa, as well as by students and researchers in the field of gender studies.
