Book excerpt: "The personal is political". So went a popular saying in the heady 60s. In presenting the story of the Ulzens and Elmina as a metaphor for the African condition in history, this novel is an eloquent corroboration of this idea. I applaud the brutal honesty, not unmixed with touching empathy, with which the author narrates the details of political events and family dramas: characters, personalities, roles and relations marked by conscious and unwitting paradoxes, complicities, mixed motives behind noble stances and deeds. In a word, IRONY is the dominant prism through which the events are rendered. Ato Sekyi Otu Professor Emeritus of Social and Political Thought York University, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Download or read book North of South written by Shiva Naipaul and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1996-09-26 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When her father leaves the Church in a crisis of conscience, Margaret Hale is uprooted from her comfortable home in Hampshire to move with her family to the north of England. Initially repulsed by the ugliness of her new surroundings in the industrial town of Milton, Margaret becomes aware of the poverty and suffering of the local mill workers and develops a passionate sense of social justice. This is intensified by her tempestuous relationship with the mill-owner and self-made man, John Thornton, as their fierce opposition over his treatment of his employees masks a deeper attraction. In North and South, Elizabeth Gaskell skillfully fused individual feeling with social concern, and in Margaret Hale created one of the most original heroines of Victorian literature.

Download or read book Foreign Native written by RW Johnson and published by Jonathan Ball Publishers. This book was released on 2020-07-23 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Foreign Native, RW Johnson looks back with affection and humour on his life in Africa. From schooldays in Durban – fresh off the plane from Merseyside – to later years as an academic, director of the Helen Suzman Foundation and formidable political commentator, he has produced an entertaining and occasionally eye-popping memoir brimming with history, anecdote and insight. Johnson charts his evolution from enthusiastic, left-leaning Africanist to political realist, relating episodes that influenced his intellectual worldview, including time spent among the exiled liberation movements in London during the 1960s, a sojourn in newly independent Guinea and more recent forays into Zimbabwe. There are wonderful stories, some hilarious, others filled with pathos, about the multitude of characters – Harold Strachan, Tom Sharpe, Ronnie Kasrils, Helen Suzman, Frederik van Zyl Slabbert, among many others – that he met along the way. Perceptive, critical and full of verve, Foreign Native is leavened with a deep humanity that makes it a pleasure to read.

Book Synopsis iJuba A South African Journey by : Jonah Becker
Download or read book iJuba A South African Journey written by Jonah Becker and published by Jonah Becker. This book was released on 2012-03-06 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a true story. The events detailed in this book took place as reported, over little more than a year. The dialogue is reproduced as accurately as possible, without censorship or bowing to political correctness. The author has drawn together his recollection of his youthful experiences on a farm in rural Natal, South Africa during the apartheid years. The narrative is a thought provoking blend of racism, humour, horror, sex, violence and social observation set in a time of social and political upheaval. The final chapter recalls the author's subsequent trip to Marion Island in the sub Antarctic, also a part of South Africa. The island's environment, wild creatures and the often bizarre behaviour of its isolated human inhabitants are described in a direct and often humorous fashion. This is described as a journey. The author passes through the South African landscape from one end of the country to the other and then by sea to its farthest outpost, the weather station on Marion Island. The actions and utterances of the real people that he meets give an insight into the popular thinking of that time. Although sometimes shocking, this was the real South Africa of the late 1970's, un-filtered by the hype and simplification that may have coloured our memories.The narrative is supported by appropriate newspaper headlines from the time, to lend real historical perspective to the story.
