In this powerful and inspiring autobiography, Nelson Mandela tells how he was raised in the royal household of his tribe, then went on to lead the African National Congress' fight against apartheid in South Africa.

Interspersed with the worship resources are personal stories of people forced to leave their homes. An Indian journalist shares short vignettes of life in her country as it neared the 50th anniversary of its independence from Great Britain.
Stories offer a loving but unflinching assessment of India today.
