He committed himself to a compelling political cause, suffered a long prison sentence and led his violent and divided country to a peaceful democratic transition. His legacy however is not uncontested: his decision to embark on an armed struggle in the 1960s, his solitary talks with apartheid officials in the 1980s and the economic policies adopted during his presidency still spark intense debate, even after his death. The essays in this Companion, written by experts in history, anthropology, jurisprudence, cinema, literature and visual studies, address these and other issues. They examine how Mandela became an icon during his lifetime and consider the meanings and uses of his internationally recognizable image. Their overarching concerns include Mandela's relation to 'tradition' and 'modernity', the impact of his most famous public performances, the oscillation between Africanist and non - racial positions in South Africa and the politics of gender and national sentiment. The volume concludes with a meditation on Mandela's legacy in the twenty-first century and a detailed guide to further reading.  aEnglish.  aMandela, Nelson, 1918-2013vBiographyxPolitical and social influencezSouth Africa  aPresidentsvBiographyxSouth Africa  aAnti-apartheid movementsvHistoryxRole of Nelson MandelazSouth Africa  aSouth AfricavHistoryxApartheid era  aSocial justicevStudiesxLeadership and activism  aHuman rights advocatesvBiographyxGlobal impact  aBarnard, Ritaeeditor.  2ddccBK  00104070aNASSDOCbNASSDOCd2024-03-21eAhuja Book Company Pvt.
