Lionel Morrison: Footprints, Gebunden

Klappentext

A riveting and moving memoir, portraying the intense struggle for freedom in South Africa. Apartheid in South Africa was arbitrary and ferocious-its end is widely celebrated. Yet, the monumental difficulties faced by the anti-apartheid movement and the sacrifices made by individuals have been hidden in the broad sweep of time.

Beloved journalist Lionel Morrison brings this history to life again, honouring his forgotten comrades. He shares memories as a defendant alongside Nelson Mandela in the Treason Trials, being forced to leave South Africa, meeting leaders of the non-aligned movement, the heady days of Third World nationalism, fighting subtle racism in Britain, and much more. With sharp intellect and warm humour, Morrison's stories reveal the intimate experience of grand geopolitical shifts-and how politics is lived.

Completed by Liz Morrison after her husband's death, Footprintsis an ode to community, truth, and resistance.
