Abstract:
The author of a collection of poems, Inside, Jeremy Patrick Cronin balanced the seemingly ethereal persona of philosopher-poet with the pragmatism of focused activism. He used his considerable intellect and talent to further the aims of the liberation struggle and the South African Communist Party (SACP), and has served as an MP and Cabinet minister. He was not afraid to speak out against the apartheid government, and he is equally not afraid to speak out against the ANC government when, guided by his intellect ethics, he feels it necessary.
