On Being a Liberal White South African. Nadine Gordimer
Description
Born and raised in South Africa, Nadine Gordimer is one of her country's most prolific writers. In her novels, short stories, and essays, she confronts the turbulent political reality of South Africa as it engulfs the people who live there. In this program with Bill Moyers, Gordimer discusses growing up as a white South African under apartheid, the causes of the tensions and violence between blacks in South Africa, and her views on the future of South Africa. Says Gordimer on the effects of apartheid: "These habits become engrained... I think there is a great deal of unlearning to be done in South Africa.
