From schooldays in Durban to later years as an Oxford don, director of the Helen Suzman Foundation and formidable political commentator, Johnson has produced an entertaining and occasionally eye-popping memoir brimming with history, anecdote and insight. Johnson charts his evolution from enthusiastic, left-leaning Africanist to political realist, relating episodes that influenced his intellectual worldview, including time spent among the exiled liberation movements in London during the 1960s, a sojourn in newly independent Guinea and more recent forays into Zimbabwe. There are wonderful stories, some hilarious, others filled with pathos, about the multitude of characters that he met along the way. Perceptive, critical and full of verve, Foreign Native is leavened with a deep humanity that is a pleasure to read.
RW Johnson is an Emeritus Fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford. He was the only South African Rhodes Scholar resident abroad to return to live in South Africa after the end of apartheid. He has written 14 books, scores of academic papers and innumerable articles for the international press. He lives in Cape Town, South Africa.
