Black Consciousness and South Africa's National Literature

Tom Penfold

Research output: Book/ReportBook

Abstract

A compelling account of the development of Black Consciousness as a cultural phenomenon, which complements and extends existing intellectual and literary histories. Ranging from BC’s 1970s heyday to its contemporary legacy, this timely study includes illuminating discussion of key Soweto Poets and their post- apartheid successors, whom Penfold strikingly dubs “Poets of No Sure Place”. A significant contribution to South African studies.
