A Usable Past: Diversity and Commonality in Northern Free Black Society
At 4:15 p.m. on Sunday February 11, 1990, antiapartheid activist Nelson Mandela walked out of South Africa's Victor Verster Prison Farm a free manor, more correctly, a free black man. As a number of American news commentators noted at the time, Mandela's 10,000 day incarceration may have ended, but for the immediate future he would be obliged to continue viewing the world through the bars of what Ronald Takaki has termed iron cages of race.

By so doing, they not only alienated tho…
