BIOGRAPHY / AFRICA
Former South African president THABO MBEKI is a complex fig-
ure. Son of Govan Mbeki, who was imprisoned on Robben Island
with Nelson Mandela, Thabo Mbeki was a committed young
Marxist who, while in power, embraced conservative economic
policies and protected white corporate interests. A rational and
dispassionate thinker in some respects, he was nonetheless par-
ticularly sensitive to criticism and dissent; and while he championed
African self-reliance, he heavily depended on foreign capital.
As a key liberation leader in exile, he was instrumental in the
ANC’s antiapartheid struggle. Later, he helped build one of the
world’s most respected constitutional democracies. As president,
though, he was unable to overcome inherited socioeconomic
challenges, and his disastrous AIDS policies will remain a major
blotch on his legacy.
Mbeki is one of the most important African political figures
of his generation. He will be remembered as a foreign policy
president for his peacemaking efforts and his role in building con-
tinental institutions, not least of which was the African Union. In
this concise biography, ideally suited for the classroom, Adekeye
Adebajo seeks to illuminate Mbeki’s contradictions and situate
him in a pan-African pantheon.
Adekeye Adebajo is the director of the Institute for Pan-African
Thought and Conversation at the University of Johannesburg and
was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University, where he obtained
his doctorate. He is the author of The Curse of Berlin: Africa
after the Cold War and editor of Africa's Peacemakers: Nobel Peace
Laureates of African Descent
Ohio Short Histories of Africa is a series of informative and
concise guides, lively biographies, and succinct introductions to
important topics in African history.
