DESCRIPTION:Professor Monica Popescu\, Department of EnglishThe Trials of N
 elson Mandela  After Nelson Mandela and other Rivonia trialists were convi
 cted and sentenced to life imprisonment in 1964\, the apartheid government
  was hoping to silence them and erase their memory from the minds of their
  fellow citizens. Under South Africa’s laws at the time\, all imprisoned o
 r banned people could not be quoted or have their pictures circulated. How
 ever\, the effect was the opposite of what the government intended. In the
  following decades\, while Mandela was imprisoned on Robben Island\, pictu
 res of him at the time of the trial and his statement from the dock became
  globally recognized icons of the struggle against injustice in South Afri
 ca. In this lecture we will look at the Treason Trial (1956-1960)\, the Ri
 vonia Trial (1963-1964) and their aftermath to meditate on which aspects w
 ere publicly remembered and which forgotten\, and how they contributed to 
 Nelson Mandela’s global image as the symbol of the anti-apartheid struggle
   About The Great Trials  IPLAI's Great Trials lecture series considers a 
 collection of history-making trials across time and examines the social an
 d political contexts in which they took place as well as their cultural co
 nsequences. The series takes the position that ‘law’ happens as much outsi
 de the courtroom as it does within it\, and that each of these pivotal eve
 nts stands as testament to the ways in which constructions of authority\, 
 law\, and justice have informed cultural consciousness across centuries.  
 IPLAI is pleased to offer the lectures in this series for CLE credit throu
 gh the Barreau du Québec.  Where: Westmount Library\, 4574 Sherbrooke St.
