- Summary:
- "Inspired by one of Nelson Mandela's recurring nightmares, Mandela's Dark Years offers a political reading of dream-life. Sharon Sliwinski guides the reader through the psychology of apartheid, recasting dreaming as a vital form of resistance to political violence, away from a rational binary of thinking. This short, provocative study blends political theory with clinical psychoanalysis, opening up a new space to consider the politics of reverie"--Page 4 of cover.
