Description
“In this community history Menzi Duka, speaking from personal experience and basing his narrative on a wealth of archival and secondary sources, leads the reader into hidden histories of a South African frontier and indeed into the lives of Cradock and Eastern Cape activists. The reader is taken into the streets of the Cradock township of Lingelihle, into homes and halls, into heads and hearts of activists young and old. In the middle of this roiled frontier, the organic intellectual and revolutionary Matthew Goniwe operated fearlessly to give his people hope and courage. This is a tale complex and fluid. It spills out all over, in locations and boardrooms, in town and country. It leads to a date with destiny. Here we have the author’s recall of Matthew Goniwe’s vision for South Africa and of his socio-political and ideological struggles”--Back cover.
