摘要：It is a wisdom attributed to the Greek historian Thucydides, that ‘Of all manifestations of power, restraint impresses men most’. To read Chabani Manganyi’s Apartheid and the Making of a Black Psychologist is to be awed by the power of restraint in the hands of a capable author and a compelling thinker. Restraint, in this context, is not synonymous with ‘not telling’ or ‘holding back’ on writing about a troublesome event. In the hands of a highly skilled writer, restraint is a way of communicating where the very art of control over the writing enables the telling to explode off the pages of the book.
