Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 18 years, was a place of love and suffering, and is a profound mirror of the political and social life of a nation battling to find its place in the world and build a unifying sense of nationhood and purpose among its citizens. This book pays tribute to all the people once imprisoned there and to the strength of the human spirit.
