Nelson Mandela was born on July 18, 1918, into a royal family of the Xhosa-speaking Thembu tribe in the South African village of Mvezo, where his father, Gadla Henry Mphakanyiswa (c. 1880-1928), served as chief. His mother, Nosekeni Fanny, was the third of Mphakanyiswa’s four wives, who together bore him nine daughters and four sons. After the death of his father in 1927, 9-year-old Mandela-then known by his birth name, Rolihlahla-was adopted by Jongintaba Dalindyebo, a high-ranking Thembu regent who began grooming his young ward for a role within the tribal leadership.

At 75, Nelson Mandela had won an achingly long struggle against apartheid and just become his country’s first black president. Up to 100,000 were present to witness the ceremony of May 10, 1994; on screens worldwide, hundreds of millions watched from afar.

  • This book takes up where The Struggle Is My Life leaves off, with only one duplication. It shows how negotiations were carried out in the midst of an intensification of the struggle, with Mandela speaking at mass demonstrations in South Africa, as well as around the world, gaining new support for the anti-apartheid struggle. It includes speeches Mandela gave in the US; in Harlem, before Congress, and at an NAACP Convention. Besides the US, Mandela went to Cuba, and his speech there thanking Fidel Castro and the Cuban people for the role they played in Angola, which opened up the possibility of ending apartheid is included. It includes his public responses to de Klerk when the violence escalated; his address to the National Union of Mineworkers; his responses to the murder of Chris Hani, and much more.

    All this is very important, since the movie version of Long Walk to Freedom makes it look like the negotiations and the mass movement were counterposed to each other. This is part of trying to turn Mandela into a "man of peace"; of course he hated violence, but the ANC used what force it had at its command to press forward the struggle.

  • To many the apartheid regime equiped with nuclear weapons, a fierce police force, and all the financial and political suppoort Washington, London, Israel, and the other imperial powers could provide seemed invincible in its war against the peoples of Southern AFrica and its own Black majority. Nelson Mandela, in prison for decades, led the revolution that under the blows of independence struggles throughout southern Africa spurred by the Cuban and Angolan armies' routing of the South Africans, freed South Africa.

    These are not just speeches about injustice or racism. These are speeches about mobilizing for the struggle, drawing the masses into that struggle, and delinating the program of a unified non-racial South Africa that made this revolution. Read them.
