It was the year of the vigilante, the year of the necklace - but also the year the talking began. Drawing on newspaper articles, memoirs, and little-known histories, William Dicey presents a compelling diary of a very bad year. He focuses on ordinary people, showing what life was actually like under an authoritarian regime - from the six hours a day that black workers in KwaNdebele spent on buses to the rebel sporting tours that provided a distraction for white South Africans. Some stories foreshadow the miracle of 1990 - for instance, the deputy commander of Pollsmoor Prison takes Nelson Mandela on a scenic drive around Cape Town, years before his eventual release. Other stories shine a light on our current conflicts. Written in crisp prose, 1986 is a model of historical excavation, deftly evoking the spirit of the times."--Page 4 of cover. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 281-303) and index. 648 7 $a 1961-1994 $2 fast 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 651 0 $a South Africa $x History $y 1961-1994. 651 0 $a South Africa $x Social conditions $y 1961-1994. 651 0 $a South Africa $x Politics and government $y 1989-1994. 651 7 $a South Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204616 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117030031.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E60C854C477411EC81CA9FE82DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
