Coinciding with the death of Nelson Mandela on December 5, ICIP has published a special dossier in memory of the first black president of South Africa, who was a symbol both of the struggle against apartheid and in favor of worldwide peace and human rights.
First of all, the dossier includes four articles (in Catalan) analyzing the figure of Madiba (as he was known in his country) from different perspectives. The first article addresses Mandela’s international legacy and his role as a peace mediator in various conflicts; the second article analyzes Mandela’s career in relation to reconciliation; the third article focuses on Nelson Mandela International Day, which the United Nations commemorates on July 18, and what it represents; and, finally, there is a fourth article that takes stock of Mandela’s career and the legacies he has left us with.
The dossier also includes a selection of websites dedicated to Mandela, with some of his most noted speeches, bibliography, filmography, images, quotes, etc. And, finally, the bibliography related to Nelson Mandela in the ICIP library is also available to users (Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes, 658, baixos, Barcelona).
