Reviews

An exceptionally well-edited volume, greatly enriched by a comprehensive index and by succinct footnotes that offer essential biographical details.
*JOURNAL OF THE AFRICAN LITERATURE ASSOCIATION*

An important and useful publication. [...] Brutus emerges here as modest and self-critical, courageous and articulate, convinced of the need for political commitment and artistic integrity.
*WASAFIRI*

This collection valuably fills out our picture of Dennis Brutus. [...] Bernth Lindfors is to be commended for producing this posthumous tribute to one of South Africa's most significant writer-activists.
*RESEARCH IN AFRICAN LITERATURES*

[A] fascinating and highly readable volume. [Brutus'] fascinating account is greatly enriched by editor Lindfors who meticulously provides a succinctly footnoted biographical sketch of every individual identified in the story.
*JOURNAL OF HISTORICAL BIOGRAPHY*

A vivid and moving portrait of a man who contributed significantly, through his actions and words, to the fight against apartheid. [It] is a deeply informative and very personal portrait of both the public and private man.
*LEEDS AFRICAN STUDIES BULLETIN*
