I Write what I Like: A Selection of His WritingsWritten by one of the foremost figures in South Africa's struggle for liberation -- this new edition of Steve Biko's classic text celebrates the 50th anniversary of his birth. I Write What I Like is Biko's only published work. In it readers will find all the qualities which continue to make him -- even some years after his brutal murder in detention -- one of the most influential thinkers in contemporary South African politics. With a new introduction and a preface by Archbishop Desmond Tutu, this book is living and eloquent testimony to Biko's own profound humanity, passionate conviction, humor and courage, as well as the unquenchable power of the human spirit even under the most dangerous and degrading conditions. |
