From the young mining town of Johannesburg came ideas of peaceful
struggle which spread across the world. Formulated by Mohandas
Gandhi in the early 1900s, the philosophy of Satyagraha (soul force
or passive resistance) became an inspiration to millions all over
the world. For a decade, during the formative years of his
philosophy, Gandhi lived in and around Johannesburg where he
established a prosperous law practice, though his legal work was
soon overtaken by his political activism in support of Indian
rights. During that decade, he made the streets and suburbs of the
city his own, changing homes frequently and walking tirelessly.
Tolstoy Farm and other places and buildings captured in words and
pictures in this evocative book are landmarks of Ghandi’s
personal and political growth. The sites featured span huge social
divides, from slums and shanties of the old Indian Location to the
comfortable suburbs reserved for whites. Considered as a whole,
they and the events surrounding them are an essential part of the
Gandhian experience.
