Having read the 1987 version of this book I felt I was viewing a snapshot of a very particular time. At the time of the printing of this edition, South Africa was in a state of turmoil, and as Donald Woods correctly pointed out, the question was not if violence would increase, but when. This book is written in a rather propagandist time, but unusually I do say this as a means of levelling criticism. Instead, the desperation of Woods to convince the international community that it was of incredible importance to stop supporting apartheid by vetoing economic sanctions. I quite honestly had no idea of the vast legacy left by Steve Biko - without the Black Conscious movement, who knows what might have ended up happening in South Africa. This is a wonderful book and I would recommend it to anyone both as a factual read and as a work of incredible humanity. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Subjected to 22 hours of interrogation, torture and beating by South African police on September 6, 1977, Steve Biko died six days later. Donald Woods, Biko's close friend and a leading white South African newspaper editor, exposed the murder helping to ignite the black revolution. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
