| Synopsis: |
Nelson Mandela fought for freedom for South Africans, but his examples - of persistence, self-sacrifice, and generosity of spirit, and of his belief in forgiveness and in embracing the enemy and making them your friend - became lessons and examples for the world. Mandela and America is a new book about the long and complex relationship between Nelson Mandela and the United States. On one level, it is about Mandela's visits to the United States and his relationship with Americans from many different walks of life. On another level, the book traces the common understanding of freedom exemplified by the United States and South Africa during the Mandela years. The relationship has not always been a smooth one, but it has deepened over the years, yielding productive results in many fields. Mandela and America celebrates this special relationship. It is also meant to record the friendship of the two peoples and also as a constant reminder that the peoples of America and South Africa were united in their struggle against white supremacy and in support of justice, peace and democracy. |
