From one of South Africa's foremost nonfiction writers, a deeply researched, shattering new account of Nelson Mandela's relationship with Winnie Madikizela-Mandela. Drawing on never-before-seen material, Steinberg reveals the fractures and stubborn bonds at the heart of a volatile and groundbreaking union, a very modern political marriage that played out on the world stage.One of the most celebrated political leaders of the twentieth century, Nelson Mandela has been written about by many biographers and historians. But in one crucial area, his life remains largely untold: his marriage to Winnie. During his years in prison, Nelson grew ever more in love with an idealised version of his wife, courting her in his letters as if they were young lovers frozen in time. But Winnie, every bit his political equal, found herself increasingly estranged from her jailed husband ' s politics. Behind his back, she was trying to orchestrate an armed seizure of power, a path he feared would lead to an endless civil war.Jonny Steinberg tells the tale of this unique marriage - its longings, its obsessions, its deceits - turning the course of South African history into a page-turning political biography. Winnie & Nelson is a modern epic in which trauma doesn't just affect the couple at its centre, but an entire nation. It is also a Shakespearean drama in which bonds of love and commitment mingle with timeless questions of revolution, such as whether to seek retribution or a negotiated peace. Told with power and tender emotional insight, Steinberg reveals how far these forever entwined leaders would go for one another, and also, where they drew the line. For in the end both knew theirs was not simply a marriage, but a contest to decide how apartheid should be fought.

4 oktober 1969. Het Zuid-Afrikaanse apartheidsregime start een proces tegen tweeëntwintig activisten wegens het overtreden van de zogenaamde Wet op de Onderdrukking van het Communisme. Met Nomzamo Winnie Mandela, Martha Dhlamini, Thokozile Mngoma, Rita Ndzanga, Nondwe Mankahla, Joyce Sikhakhane en Shanthie Naidoo zitten daar ook zeven vrouwen tussen. Zeven moeders, echtgenotes, dochters en/of zusters. In de lange aanloop naar het proces sluit het regime hen tot twee jaar op in Pretoria Central Prison. Ze belanden in isoleercellen van anderhalve meter op vier. Ze zien hoe hun kameraden naar de galg worden gebracht. Ze worden gemarteld. En toch breken de zeven niet: ze houden de lippen stijf op elkaar. In de apartheidsstrijd kreeg de vrouw een heel andere rol toebedeeld dan de man, zoals dat gebeurde in de rest van de geschiedenis. Het regime pakte hen dan ook extra hard aan en gebruikte hun gender tegen hen, als een aanvullend wapen. Daarover gaat dit beklijvende staaltje literaire non-fictie.https:https://www.epo.be/nl/politiek-economie/5019-vrouwen-verzet-en-apartheid-9789462673090.html
