Review Of Long Walk To Freedom By Justin Chadwick

While watching Long Walk To Freedom by Justin Chadwick it did not take long to realize that the whole situation was managed toward a desired outcome. The forming of the ANC, picking Nelson Mandela, locking Mandela away, and freeing him was all managed. The rulers had to transition South Africa from a colony to a new colony in the safest possible way to the ruling elite. The rulers indirectly selected a leader, forced him to fight so that they could retaliate, and locked the leader away while they brutalized his people. Now South Africa is still ruled by Afrikaans while native Africans suffer. In some ways the natives are in worse condition now than they were then. It is easier to see the ruler's plan from a distance, but I doubt that anyone involved in the anti apartheid movement could see how they were being guided. When we are in the midst of a struggle in a mode of violence we are blind. You should watch Long Walk To Freedom by Justin Chadwick to see how we moved from forced slave societies to voluntary slave societies.
