willingly having given up "some of her political advocacy''; "she said she was happy to stand behind him (Nelson] at rallies and run the home while he met with international visitors". Winnie Mandela is now the reluctant revolutionary, whose family life had been sundered, and whose frenetic energies must now be turned to restoring the 'normality' of male authority in the private world of the home, and in the public world of politics, a repudiation of politics itself as 'male'. This is the desirable Winnie, the INTERNATIONAL ECONOMY End of Illusions Frederick F Clairmonte winner of Alan Sealove's admiration, whose assurances of the future of South Afria could now only run so far as assuring her audiences of the good health of her husband. Presented, as she was in the popular media, as willingly retreating from politics, Winnie Mandela served as a powerful reminder to black women (and men) of the fruits of 'fidelity' rather than defiance, that may yet be won by the hard-pressed American black. The recuperation of her politics of defiance, meanwhile, must await a wholly different kind of politics.
