Review:
Ambitious and intelligent, Biko was pursuing a university education in South Africa when he energized a student movement in resistance to apartheid. Wilson analyzes Biko s legacy in the aftermath of apartheid and expresses continued concern about racial conflicts and growing concerns about class divisions.
"Booklist""
Clear accessible language; a strong narrative [and] chronological structure; a balanced assessment in the portrayal of Biko.
Laura J. Mitchell, University of California, Irvine"
Throughout the text, Wilson brings to the fore Biko s personality, drawing a portrait of a complex and charismatic man. VERDICT: The book, as a short history rather than an in-depth examination of a person or a movement, will be most useful for students, although it does assume a certain amount of knowledge.
