Freedom in Our Lifetime

The manifesto remains a classic statement of the African nationalist position. The conflict in South Africa, it asserted, was fundamentally a racial one between whites and blacks, who represented opposite political and philosophical poles. The oppressors, whites, represented a philosophy of personal achievement and individualism that fuelled fierce competition; the oppressed blacks embodied a philosophy of communalism and societal harmony where society’s needs were favoured over those of the individual. Because whites had defined their domination in terms of race, this had led blacks “to view his problems and those of his country through the perspective of race.”
The manifesto was also a blistering indictment of the orthodoxies that black and white leaders had been wedded to for decades. One was trusteeship, an idea promoted by white politicians that blacks were their wards who had to be brought along slowly to a civilized state. The manifesto surveyed the long litany of government laws that had hindered, not advanced blacks, and concluded that trusteeship was a bluff aimed at perpetuating white rule.
