About
Although British-born, John Allen lived in South Africa from 1954 to 1990, a 36-year period during which the country experienced its most climacticand sometimes terribleevents.Speaking from firsthand knowledge and with an intimate understanding of the situation, the author takes us beyond the media hype that so dominated Western television screens and answers some of the most vital questions of all. Who, for instance, originated the system of government the world grew to hate so much? Was South Africa the only apartheid country? What was the Wests real motive in forcing the country to its knees? Why did Nelson Mandelas release from prison exacerbate rather than diminish violence? What was the countrys overall perception of its most famous political prisoner? Growing up White in Apartheid South Africa addresses these and a host of other issues, bringing to light little-known facts, eyewitness detail, and personal reflection.
