Voice, Silence and Gender in South Africa's Anti-Apartheid Struggle: The Shadow of a Young Woman - Paperback

by Rachel E. Johnson (Author)

Tracing the political life of Masabatha Loate, a young black woman activist who testified at the trial of the 'Soweto Eleven' in 1978, this book examines the history of South Africa's liberation struggle through the lens of voice, speech and silence, and what this reveals about the gendered dynamics of anti-apartheid political action, state repression and history-writing.
