Description
The autobiography has as its primary focus political history, in particular the history of the ANC in South Africa and in exile. 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.
