Non-Fiction Photography | Non-Fiction Biography
Nelson Mandela, an icon of the international struggle for
freedom and equality, whose importance rivals that of Martin
Luther King and Mahatma Gandhi, turns ninety in July 2008.
Mandela spent twenty-seven years in prison for his
opposition to the apartheid regime of his native South
Africa. Released in 1990, he pursued a policy of
reconciliation, steering his nation into the ranks of the
world’s multi-racial democracies. He was elected president
of South Africa in 1994.
Photographer David Turnley
covered Mandela and South Africa for the world’s press,
beginning in the 1980s. He witnessed the turbulence of the
last violent years of apartheid, was there when Mandela was
released from prison, campaigned with him during the
presidential election, and sought out the significant people
and places of his life. In Mandela: Struggle and
Triumph, he tells in words and photographs the dramatic
and emotional story of the most powerful movement for civil
rights since the American civil rights movement, through the
eyes of its legendary leader.
