The Other Side of History: An anecdotal reflection on political transition in South Africa

Frederik van Zyl Slabbert

4.9/5 (10646 ratings)

Description:One thing the �old’ and �new’ South Africa have in common is a passion for inventing history. History is not seen as a dispassionate inquiry into what happened, but rather as part of political mobilisation promoting some form of collective self-interest. Not for one second do I pretend to know the �whole’ or �real’ story of what happened in the old South Africa, or what is happening in the �new’. I know that significant parts of what has been, or is being invented, are not the way I experienced them. This is a personal reflection on a fascinating period in my life which coincided with fundamental shifts in the political life of South Africa. I was fortunate to be in a position where I knew and had access to persons of influence across the political spectrum. This is my account of their interaction with each other and mine with them. � Frederick van Zyl SlabbertWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
