Mandela's Azania Available NowMANDELA’S AZANIA: A BRIEF ANALYSIS OF PRECOLONIAL, COLONIAL AND POSTCOLONIAL SOUTH AFRICA

Nelson Mandela is often remembered as a strong proponent of racial and ethnic equality. However, after many years of an independent South Africa, there are cracks forming in his rainbow nation. The West uses him as an icon to sell the notion of a peaceful transition to democracy.  However, the purpose of this book is to use a critical lens to evaluate Nelson Mandela’s role in shaping present day South Africa. We also uncover the ideas, life events and controversies that made the man and how his ideas shape the country today.
