Catching Tadpoles: Shaping of a Young Rebel eBooks & eLearning

Posted by First1 at Dec. 13, 2019

Ronnie Kasrils's memoir reflects on compelling questions as to what turned a white youngster from a modest background into a lifelong revolutionary of note. A tiny minority who abandoned a life of privilege were the antithesis of conventionality and toeing the line. What made those such as Kasrils break all the rules and confront white power with such courage, unbridled spirit and yearning for the truth?This is a challenging and fascinating conundrum but Kasrils will claim he is no aberration of history. The answers to that question, which unravel through twenty years, will beguile readers as he peers back with endearing frankness into the origins and experiences of his formative years.

Gluck - Alceste (John Eliot Gardiner, Anne Sofie von Otter, Paul Groves) [2002] Music
