The author records in a refreshingly straightforward way how he and his peers experienced life in South Africa in the 1950's. His politicization in Cradock through such events as the 1952 Defiance Campaign and later at the University of Fort Hare give the background for his recruitment into the ANC underground. A true non-racialist with a broad view of the world, he reflects a generation of South Africans who were educated in the East European socialist countries. He was widely read and knowledgeable about global affairs; he understood the politics of most African countries and hoped to contribute to the building of a new South Africa. 650 0 $a Politicians $z South Africa $v Biography. 650 0 $a Politicians $z South Africa. 650 0 $a Politicians $v Biography. 650 7 $a Politicians. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069915 651 7 $a South Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204616 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686 700 1 $a Young, Joline, $e editor. 700 1 $a Dodson, Sandra, $e editor. 830 0 $a South African History Online Lives of courage series. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021013250.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=12664352FCE811E799AF106097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
