Overview
A Short Walk in a Long Journey is a story about an American election observer’s experience in the 1994 South African election. This election marked the beginning of democracy in South Africa with the election of Nelson Mandela as president. A Short Walk in a Long Journey is a non-fictional narrative, rewritten 19 years later relying upon the copious notes taken during the adventure and vivid memories. There are several climatic points in the story and the final section is an analysis of present day South Africa, largely based upon research done by Goldman Sachs and UBS. The title is a reference to Mandela’s autobiography, Long Walk to Freedom.

About the Author
After Dr. Michael Reid returned to the United States he married Zephaniah Nixon and then finished his graduate work in Cell Biology and Neuroscience at the Goethe-Universität Frankfurt, making a major contribution to our understanding of how sound is encoded in the brain. They had a daughter, Zaire Reid, before Dr. Reid’s research took the family to Germany, then Switzerland. Today, the family spends time between Lausanne, Switzerland and New York City, where Dr. Reid now works in investment banking in the healthcare industry.
Zaire is a student in New York and was inspired to interview Dr. Reid for this narrative after Nelson Mandela’s death on 5 December 2013.
