The Special Collections Book of the Week this week is:

30 Years of Freedom Charter by Raymond Suttner and Jeremy Cronin.

This book tries to recover a crucial aspect of South African history – the making of the Freedom Charter. The Freedom Charter has a unique authority because of the mode of its creation. Never before, or since, have the people of South Africa themselves, put down their own vision of the type of society in which they would like to live.
