i'm used to "rugged" individualism and ring-wing ideological positions and the general revisionism of clint eastwood's movies (as well as their affectiveness, thoughtfulness and lack of hollywood blam and blah)... but the *fictional* (according to wikipedia) conceit of a poem with which mandela inspires the springboks to triumph as rugby, thus bolstering post-apartheid south african integration (... a poem that he - mandela - clung onto during his darkest days at robben island), and this poem - quoted and fetishised throughout - infact the same poem timothy mcvie quoted prior to his execution... any thoughts on eastwood's gambit? is the mcvie connection generally known in north america? ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.econ.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
