Former South African president Thabo Mbeki is a complex figure. He
was a committed young Marxist who, while in power, embraced
conservative economic policies and protected white corporate
interests; a rational and dispassionate thinker who was
particularly sensitive to criticism and dissent; and a champion of
African self-reliance who relied excessively on foreign capital. As
a key liberation leader in exile, he was instrumental in the ANC's
antiapartheid struggle. Later, he helped build one of the world's
most respected constitutional democracies. As president, though, he
was unable to overcome inherited socioeconomic challenges, and his
disastrous AIDS policies will remain a major blotch on his legacy.
Mbeki is the most important African political figure of his
generation. He will be remembered as a foreign policy president for
his peacemaking efforts and his role in building continental
institutions, not least of which was the African Union. In this
concise biography, ideally suited for the classroom, Adekeye
Adebajo seeks to illuminate Mbeki's contradictions and situate him
in a pan-African pantheon.
