Sol Plaatje, South African nationalist, 1876-1932

"Today Sol Plaatje is celebrated as one of South Africa's most accomplished political and literary figures. He was a pioneer in the history of the black press, editor of several newspapers, one of the founders of the African National Congress in 1912, led its campaign against the notorious Natives Land Act of 1913 and twice travelled overseas to represent the interests of his people. Tells the story of Plaatje's remarkable life, setting it in the context of the changes that overtook South Africa during his lifetime and the huge obstacles he had to overcome. It draws upon extensive new research in archives in Southern Africa, Europe and the US, as well as an expanding scholarship on Plaatje and his writings.'--
