The Road to Awakening: Fighting with Mandela/觉醒之路：和曼德拉一起战斗的日子

This book is a courageous, moving, and magnificent work of nonfiction. In it, Sandy Sijak, a comrade-in-arms of Mandela, South Africa's first black president, tells the moving story of his struggle for national independence and against colonial rule in South Africa and across Africa as an ANC member. He participated in the liberation struggles in Tanzania, Kenya, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, and was imprisoned alongside Mandela as a political prisoner on Robben Island. His autobiography is a magnificent history of Africa's struggle for independence. The book consists of 37 sections, and the author's delicate portrayal of the social environment and the characters' psychology makes it highly readable, offering readers a mirror through which to understand African history, political ecology, and cultural landscapes.
