Raymond Suttner, Inside Apartheid’s Prison

Abstract

The updated edition of Raymond Suttner’s Inside Apartheid’s Prison is a timely reminder
of how unromantic and painful the struggle was for those enlisted to join in the struggle
against apartheid. Moreover, the book reminds all South Africans that the fight against
apartheid or any other injustice is one that will have various facets and faces, even in
the form of a white middle class lecturer. Yet, two facets of the books keep that keep it
alluring are its open discussion concerning the unglamorous and sometimes painful
consequences of the fight against the National Party’s Apartheid system.
