00:00--:--

Worldview presents part two of an interview with Nadine Gordimer, South African writer, activist, and Nobel Prize winner. Gordimer discusses her activities as a Nobel Prize recipient, the political social changes taking place in South Africa, and Rodney King verdict and subsequent riots in the U.S.

Gordimer has written on the complicated personal relationships that arise under a repressive political system and has long been active on behalf of free speech for writers facing censorship in her own country. She helped found the Congress of South American Writers, a primarily Black organization but one that works to support writers of all color.

This is part two of two.
