AFTER THE PARTY: CORRUPTION, THE ANC AND SOUTH AFRICA’S UNCERTAIN FUTURE
Book ID/图书代码: 03635010B36889
English Summary/英文概要: After the Party is an explosive account of the power struggles currently dominating South African politics, and a crucial record of the ANC’s record in power. Andrew Feinstein, a former ANC member of parliament, recounts how Mandela’s successor Thabo Mbeki repressed debate within the party, imposed AIDS denialism on government, refused to criticize Mugabe’s rule and stopped an investigation into a multi-billion-dollar arms deal that was tainted by allegations of high-level graft. Feinstein shows how this infamous deal epitomises all that is rotten at the heart of the ANC. Investigating the payment of up to $200 million worth of bribes, he reveals a complex web of concealment and corruption involving senior politicians and officials, and figures at the very highest levels of South African politics. With an insider’s account of the events surrounding the contentious trial of ANC President Jacob Zuma, After the Party is the most important book on South Africa since the end of apartheid.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 《政党过后》(After the Party)爆炸性地描述了目前南非政局的权利纷争以及南非国会权力至关重要的记录。作者安德鲁,曾是南非议会成员,积极反对艾滋,拒绝批评穆加贝的统治,阻止了一场多亿美元武装买卖的调查。费恩表示这项臭名昭著的买卖交易象征的是南非国会的腐烂。作者披露调查这个款项的贿赂高达2亿,涉及人员包括高级政客和官员,以及南非政坛高位者。作为内部人员所做的描述,围绕备受争议的南非总统贾可布•祖玛(Jacob Zuma)审判,本书是自南非种族隔离之后,关于南非最重要的书。(兼职翻译-夏佳佳)
Awards/获奖情况:戴斯芒•图图(Desmond Tutu)大主教:这本勇敢重要的书一定程度上揭示了南非多亿美元武器买卖案损害了法律法规的自圆其说以及国家宪法性。它提供了与之相关的令人信服的腐败证据以及没有妥善处理的艾滋爆发,致使民主失去了道德方向。同时,它还直指政治原则的弊端以及南非和世界其他地方都需整改的地方。
麦琪拉•王(Michela Wrong):正如本书所述,每一个刚起步的南非民主政党将会受益于作者。作者很有原则,真诚有加,他是那种让人不得不信服的人。
理查德•多邓(Richard Dowden):每一个想要理解南非梦的人必须一读此书。本书情节迷人,内容丰富,展示了政治继承人如何失去方向,南非失去道德底线的过程。作者亲眼见证了这一切,此传具有权威性,评判做到公平公正。
舒拉•马克斯(Shula Marks):作者真实勇敢地描述了其作为一名南非国会成员涉及南非曾经的种族隔离议会政治生涯,以及政党领导人无法阻止武器买卖之后他的离开;还带领读者深入南非过去十年政治的中心。本书对那些对当代南非的两难处境和挑战感兴趣的人来说不容错过。
安德鲁•库克伯恩(Andrew Cockburn):作者惟妙惟肖淋漓尽现了国际武器公司如何腐蚀南非民主政党的过程,以及令人心碎的正直政客企图力挽狂澜最终功亏一篑的形象,此书很有吸引力。
