Product Description

"Bill Sutherland and Matt Meyer have looked beyond the short-term strategies and tactics which too often divide progressive people. They have begun to develop a language which looks at the roots of our humanness beyond our many private contradictions."
--from the foreword by Archbishop Desmond M. Tutu, 1984 Nobel Peace laureate

"The discussions and experiences contained in this book make a unique contribution to the literature on Pan Africanism, self-determination, people's empowerment and, indeed, to world peace." --Dr. Theo-Ben Gurirab, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Namibia; President of the 54th Session of the United Nations General Assembly

"A revealing and interesting account, combined with often extensive interviews with diverse African leaders and activists--from Ghana to South Africa, about violence and nonviolent options in their struggles." --Dr. Gene Sharp, Senior Scholar, The Albert Einstein Institution; founder, Program for Nonviolent Sanctions, Harvard University

"Bill Sutherland and Matt Meyer have woven a tapestry of ideas, ideology, and struggle together in a sensitive and essential manner that helps us to put the Pan African struggle in its proper perspective. What an important book! What an appropriate time for this informed discussion!" --Sonia Sanchez, poet-activist-scholar; Laura Carnell Professor of English and Women's Studies at Temple University

"This book is urgently needed. As someone engaged for over forty years in many nonviolent struggles for justice in Africa--which included being in the same prison cell in Johannesburg which once held Mahatma Gandhi and breaking stones on Robben Island with nelson Mandela--I value the insights offered in this work. It will give a powerful impetus to our current campaigns for reparations and debt cancellation, which are developing globally." --Dennis Brutus, South African poet laureate and author, A simple Lust; Professor Emeritus, Department of Africana Studies, University of Pittsburgh
