Reviews

“A fascinating, deeply researched biography of a key figure in black South African politics—a wonderful addition to our understanding of the early history of the South African Communist Party. The chapters on Josie Mpama’s family history are particularly illuminating on the complexities of ‘race’ in South African society.” -- Iris Berger, author of Women in Twentieth-Century Africa “Robert R. Edgar presents the remarkable life story of little-known South African activist Josie Mpama/Palmer in this fascinating biography.” -- Peter Alegi, author of African Soccerscapes “Would make a wonderful supplemental text to courses in resistance politics, Black internationalism, and gendered activism, and students at both the undergraduate and graduate level will appreciate its readability.” -- Holly Y. McGee * H-Net / H-Africa *
