Entries (RSS) Ruth First: 117 Days
|
The classic account of confinement and interrogation in South Africa by the woman who dedicated her life to the fight against Apartheid. A militant member of both the African National Congress and the South African communist party, Ruth First was detained under the iniquitous ‘90-day’ law of 1963. There was no warrant, no charge, and no trial - only suspicion. This is her personal account of her months in prison - her experiences of solitary confinement, constant interrogation and instantaneous re-arrest on release - lightened by humorous portraits of governors, matrons, wardresses and interrogators, seen as the tools of a police state.
