Publisher's Synopsis
The new South African Flag first flew over a nation on the 27th of April 1994. Freedom Day, April the 27th 2002, witnessed the publication of Flying with Pride: The Story of the South African Flag. Flying with Pride tells the tale of the birth and universal adoption of the new South African national flag. This tale, told by author and journalist Denis Beckett, holds together a collection of art works, artefacts and photographs from throughout South Africa. These images tell, in their own powerful way, of how the new flag has been woven into the very fabric of South African society. And, as Flying with Pride shows, this has been done in more ways than with any other flag in the world!
