Libs., Washington, D.C.Ĭopyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc. Recommended for libraries specializing in South Africana. And, in the end, we've heard it all before. To read them assumes a familiarity with the South African situation. Paton writes of prominent South Africans-Luthuli, Mandela, Tutu, Smuts, Botha, Buthelezi-of Soweto, Sharpeville, and Crossroads, of detentions and bannings, of Afrikaners and apartheid, of hopes and fears they are a cri de coeur for South Africa. These collected journalistic pieces of the last 25 years are inevitably political. Poignant, eloquent, true to his spiritual vision, yet rendered increasingly anachronistic in the "post-Soweto" world of South Africa, Paton continued to write uncompromisingly. His arguments against disinvestment in South Africa alienated him from those in the forefront of the struggle. Paton, author of the now classic Cry the Beloved Country, remained to the end of his life (he died in 1988) a respected, even beloved, writer, a major literary figure in South Africa, despite the fact that events in his country had already passed him by.
