'In South Africa, this collection, in spite of
the difficulties that will inevitably accompany its distribution, will
constitute another milestone in the development of the ANC.' Nelson Mandela
This unique collection of speeches, writings and rare interviews by the
President of the African National Congress, with a foreword by Nelson
Mandela, and compiled by Mrs Adelaide Tambo, gives a coherent and
comprehensive view of ANC policy, both within South Africa and on a
worldwide scale, over three decades.
For much of this time Oliver Tambo had been the movement's leading
spokesman.
Arranged chronologically, with short introductions to each
chapter, the ANC's development is traced from its origins as a protest
movement in the stormy 1950s, through its banning and subsequent
reconstitution in exile, into the major, international, political
organisation that it is today. It ends with a series of significant recent
speeches which looks with optimism to the future and a vision of
post-apartheid South Africa.
Oliver Tambo Speaks is essential reading not only for policy makers
and academics, but for all those who support the basic struggle for human
rights and wish to broaden their understanding of the current political
situation in South Africa. |
