The Spirit of Freedom

Sinopsis del Libro

Libro The Spirit of Freedom

This collection of interviews explores the role of religion in the lives of eminent South Africans who led the struggle against apartheid. Nelson Mandela, Chris Hani, Desmond Tutu, Nadine Gordimer, and seventeen other political, religious, and cultural leaders share the beliefs and values that informed the moral positions they adopted, often at great cost. From all ethnic, religious, and political backgrounds, these men and women have shaped one of the greatest political transformations of the century. What emerges from the interviews are reflections on all aspects of life in an embattled country. There are stories of the homelands and townships, and tales of imprisonment and exile. Dedicated communists relate their intense youthful devotion to Christianity; Muslim activists discuss the complexity of their relationships with their communities. As the respondents grapple with difficult questions about faith, politics, and authority, they expose a more personal picture: of their daily lives, of their pasts, and of the enormous conflicts that arise in a society that continually strains the moral fiber of its citizens. Taken together, these interviews reveal the many-faceted vision that has fueled South Africa's struggle for democracy.

Fronteras

Libro Fronteras

Este libro, que reúne –a veces, refundidos o ampliados- textos anteriores del autor, trata de fronteras, y por tanto, sobre todo de Portugal. Su espíritu, su naturaleza, su impulso fronterizo fueron inseparables de una realidad nacional, más antigua y más inmóvil -en su territorio “continental”- que ninguna otra. Fronteras, en plural, porque hubo varias: la del aislamiento, cerrada y defensiva, en la Península; la de la proyección mundial por los caminos oceánicos, que logró construir tres imperios coloniales; la de su interiorización, sorprendida aquí en la dramática figura ...
