This collection of interviews explores the role of religion in the
lives of eminent South Africans who led the struggle against
apartheid. Nelson Mandela, Chris Hani, Desmond Tutu, Nadine
Gordimer, and seventeen other political, religious, and cultural
leaders share the beliefs and values that informed the moral
positions they adopted, often at great cost. From all ethnic,
religious, and political backgrounds, these men and women have
shaped one of the greatest political transformations of the
century.
What emerges from the interviews are reflections on all aspects of
life in an embattled country. There are stories of the homelands
and townships, and tales of imprisonment and exile. Dedicated
communists relate their intense youthful devotion to Christianity;
Muslim activists discuss the complexity of their relationships with
their communities. As the respondents grapple with difficult
questions about faith, politics, and authority, they expose a more
personal picture: of their daily lives, of their pasts, and of the
enormous conflicts that arise in a society that continually strains
the moral fiber of its citizens. Taken together, these interviews
reveal the many-faceted vision that has fueled South Africa's
struggle for democracy.
