Internationally, Mandela's renown seems intact and invulnerable. In South Africa, however, his legacy and his place in the country's history have become matters of contention and dispute, especially among younger black South Africans. These essays analyse aspects of Mandela's life in the context of South Africa's national history, and make an important contribution to the historiography of the anti-apartheid political struggle. They reassess: the political context of his youth; his changing political beliefs and connections with the left; his role in the African National Congress and the turn to armed struggle; and his marriage to Winnie Madikizela-Mandela and their political relationship. By providing new context, they explore Mandela as an actor in broader social processes such as the rise of the ANC and the making of South Africa's post-apartheid constitution. The detailed essays are linked in a substantial introduction by Colin Bundy and current debates are addressed in a concluding essay by Elleke Boehmer. This book provides a scholarly counterweight both to uncritical celebration of Mandela and also to a simplistic attribution of post-apartheid shortcomings to the person of Mandela."--Page 4 of cover. 500 $a "This volume first appeared as Journal of Southern African Studies, 45, 6 (2019) published by Routledge and republished with amendments by permission."--Page facing title page. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 00 $g Introduction: the challenge of rethinking Mandela / $r Elleke Boehmer. $t Mandela and beyond: thinking new possiblity in the 21st century / $r Philip Bonner -- $t Mandela: the untold heritage / $r Xolela Mangcu -- $t Mandela and the left / $r Tom Lodge -- $t The M-Plan: to struggle to reorient the African National Congress / $r Paul S.
