I have taken a moment here to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the distance I have come. But I can only rest for a moment, for with freedom comes responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not ended. In 1994, Nelson Mandela became the first president of democratic South Africa. Five years later, he stood down. In that time, he and his government wrought the most extraordinary transformation, turning a nation riven by centuries of colonialism and apartheid into a fully functioning democracy in which all South Africas citizens, black and white, were equal before the law. Dare Not Linger is the story of Mandelas presidency, drawing heavily on the memoir he began to write as he prepared to finish his term as president, but was unable to finish. Now the acclaimed South African author Mandla Langa has completed the task using Mandelas unfinished draft, detailed notes that Mandela made as events were unfolding, and a wealth of previously unseen archival material. The result is a vivid and inspirational account of Mandelas presidency: years during which he overcame the challenges of transition and made a reality of his cherished vision for a liberated South Africa. 650 04 $a World - African 650 04 $a Civil Rights 650 04 $a Presidents & Heads of State 655 4 $a Audiobooks 700 1 $a Lester, Adrian. $4 nrt 710 2 $a TEI Landmark Audio. 710 2 $a Blackstone Audio, Inc. 941 $a 1 945 $a cdab 952 $l BWPD851 $d 20210714011534.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A9B11EE0261B11EAB196236797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
