Descripción
Sumario:Adopted from a manuscript that had long been housed in the Wits Historical Papers and was accessible only to scholars, editors D.S. Matjila and Karen Haire have mined the archive to produce the first English translation of Seetsele Modiri Molema's biography, Lover of His People: Sol Plaatje. In this account, Molema balances Plaatje's public and political persona-as a pioneer black politician and man of letters-with an intimate account, illuminating the spirit of Plaatje by painting a personal portrait of this leading South African figure and his impact on South Africa's political and cultural.
Notas:Includes extracts of Plaatje's writings, some originally written in English, some in English translation from the original Tswana.
English translation of: Sol T Plaatje : Morata Wabo. Written in Tswana, 1965.
