Many critical theorists talk and write about the day after the
revolution, but few have actually participated in the constitution
of a revolutionary government. Emeritus Justice Albie Sachs was a
freedom fighter for most of his life. He then played a major role
in the negotiating committee for the new constitution of South
Africa, and was subsequently appointed to the new Constitutional
Court of South Africa. Therefore, the question of what it means to
make the transition from a freedom fighter to a participant in a
revolutionary government is not abstract, in Hegel's sense of the
word, it is an actual journey that Albie Sachs undertook. The
essays in this book raise the complex question of what it actually
means to make this transition without selling out to the demands of
realism. In addition, the preface written by Emeritus Justice Albie
Sachs and his interview with Drucilla Cornell and Karin van Marle,
further address key questions about revolution in the twentieth-
and twenty-first centuries: from armed struggle to the organization
of a nation state committed to ethical transformation in the name
of justice. Albie Sachs and transformation in South Africa: from
revolutionary activist to constitutional court judge illuminates
the theoretical and practical experiences of revolution and its
political aftermath. With first-hand accounts alongside academic
interrogation, this unique book will intrigue anyone interested in
the intersection of Law and Politics.
