USA Africa Dialogue Series - Re: Nelson Mandela's legacy lives on at the UN in New York

Mandela was a revolutionary, became a reformist,  then a restorationist. In my estimation he didnt do much to change the dynamics of the racist political economy of South Africa. In the end he cozied with the apartheid elites. For this the West hailed him as  a hero. African scholars should rethink. The number of African lost to the slave trade can be freely revised by any historian, but some numbers of smaller genocide are untouchable. Yes  history is cosmopolitan cannot be used as a medium of revenge. But history can be used as a medium of change.
