My new South African identity: as the Mandela era draws to a close, South Africa's most renowned novelist sees her nation, for all its problems, embracing an expanded notion of 'us.'(author Nadine Gordimer; Pres Nelson Mandela and the future of South Africa.)
Article Abstract:
South Africa is preparing for its second presidential election, scheduled for Jun 2 1999. During the last five years, the existence of equality and democracy has done much to reinforce the reason black South Africans fought so hard to end three centuries of colonial racism. For the author, the opportunity to reflect upon the changes in South Africa's political and social structures underscores the extraordinary challenge to sustain a humane society in which all ethnic groups share South Africa's blessings.
