Nelson Mandela was one of the most revered figures of our time. He
committed himself to a compelling political cause, suffered a long
prison sentence, and led his violent and divided country to a
peaceful democratic transition. His legacy, however, is not
uncontested: his decision to embark on an armed struggle in the
1960s, his solitary talks with apartheid officials in the 1980s,
and the economic policies adopted during his presidency still spark
intense debate, even after his death. The essays in this Companion,
written by experts in history, anthropology, jurisprudence, cinema,
literature, and visual studies, address these and other issues.
They examine how Mandela became an icon during his lifetime and
consider the meanings and uses of his internationally recognizable
image. Their overarching concerns include Mandela's relation to
'tradition' and 'modernity', the impact of his most famous public
performances, the oscillation between Africanist and non-racial
positions in South Africa, and the politics of gender and national
sentiment. The volume concludes with a meditation on Mandela's
legacy in the twenty-first century and a detailed guide to further
reading.
