Spear: Nelson Mandela and the Revolutionaries
Join Professor of History Paul Landau as he discusses his 2022 book, “Spear: Mandela and the Revolutionaries.” He’ll delve into the racism, land dispossession and violence that was rampant during the time of apartheid in South Africa, and how African nationalists and Marxists destabilized the system to open the way for a new state. He’ll conclude the talk by exploring the long-term results of that effort.
