A Plan for the People: Nelson Mandela’s Hope for His Nation

Lindsey McDivitt

This book traces Nelson Mandela’s life under apartheid in South Africa, where race-based separation imposed abusive laws and harsh limits on nonwhite citizens. Mandela’s desire for freedom grew alongside his grief and anger, but he retained hope for a nation shared by everyone living there. The account follows his work with the African National Congress, imprisonment on Robben Island, and later rise to the presidency as a force against injustice.
