Drawing on meticulous research and first-hand accounts, Benson traces the ANC's origins in 1912 through its evolution into a mass movement, presenting the lives and sacrifices of iconic figures such as Nelson Mandela, Albert Luthuli, and Oliver Tambo as they fought to reclaim the most fundamental of human rights.\n\nBenson writes with a clarity and moral authority that transforms history into living testimony, refusing to reduce her subjects to mere symbols while illuminating the systemic oppression that sought to deny an entire people their dignity and political voice. Published as part of the seminal Penguin African Library series — a collection designed to bring urgent African political realities to a global readership — this work stands as an indispensable document of resistance literature. For anyone who wishes to truly understand the roots of South Africa's freedom struggle, this book asks a question that still resonates: how long can justice be deferred before a birthright becomes a battle cry?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49216209158363,"sku":"2026200017504-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/c103f6d5-8624-4d8f-90e3-f4a2d11afab6.png?v=1788405393","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200017504-secondhand-south-africa-the-struggle-for-a-birthright","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
