About This Item
(Johannesburg: Wits University Press, 2016) 9781868143030. 215 x 150 mm; laminated pictorial wrappers; pp. xvi + 483, incl. index; contemporary illustrations. Fine condition. "In the course of a prolific career he wrote letters to the press, newspaper articles and editorials, pamphlets, political speeches, evidence to government commissions of enquiry, autobiographical writings (unpublished), and many personal letters. They provide an engaging personal record and a very readable - and revealing - commentary on South African social and political affairs during the era of segregation, from 1899 through to Plaatje's tragically early death in 1932. What he wrote has a unique historical importance, all the more meaningful from the perspective of a democratic South Africa. This fascinating collection has been assembled from a variety of disparate and often obscure sources, making a comprehensive selection of Plaatje's writings available to a wider audience." .
