Book Description 8vo; original blue boards; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pp. 260, incl. index. Dustwrapper slighly rubbed and edgeworn; earlier owner's name and gift inscription penned on front free endpaper; a little shelf-rubbed; some spotting to edges. Very good condition. "This comprehensive anthology of black poetry from southern Africa ranges from the earliest known poems of the Khoisan and the praise poetry of the isimbongi, to the apocalyptic Soweto voices of the 1970s. The emphasis falls on poetry from South Africa, but representative examples of pre- and post-independence poetry from Zimbabwe, Angola and Mozambique reveal the larger coherences underlying the themes of oppression and liberation. The introduction draws fascinating parallels between traditional and oral, and modern and written poetic approaches, between the mission-school idiom of the first black poets writing in English and the harsh, utterly authentic speech rhythms of today, between a pre-Sharpeville voice of protest and a post-Sharpeville, and particularly, a post-Soweto, poetry of resistance.".
