Author's signed presentation inscription to half-title. 233 x 155 mm; laminated pictorial wrappers; pp. xi + (i) + 436, incl. index; map; plates. Very good condition. "Author, journalist, political spokesman and leader of his people - Solomon Tshekisho Plaatje was one of the most gifted and versatile men of his generation. He devoted his many talents to one overriding cause: the struggle of the African people against injustice and dispossession in the years that saw South Africa transformed from a colonial backwater into an industrial state. He is best known today as the author of two books: Native Life in South Africa, a scathing indictment of the Natives' Land Act of 1913, one of the most far-reaching pieces of legislation in South African history; and Mhudi, the first novel in English to be written by a black South African. This extensively illustrated biography tells the story of Plaatje's remarkable life for the first time. The early years - his childhood on a German mission station in the Cape Colony of the 1880s and '90s, his first job as a messenger with the Post Office in the diamond town of Kimberley - culminate in his work as a court interpreter for the British military authorities at the famous siege of Mafeking. As the new century began, the political struggle came to dominate Plaatje's life. He was the first secretary of the African National Congress. Political campaigning took him to Britain where he met Lloyd George, and to the United States, where he met black leaders like Marcus Garvey and W.E.B. Du Bois. He spent the last years of his life in South Africa, devoting himself to the preservation of the Tswana language and literature.".…

234 x 156 mm; laminated pictorial wrappers; pp. xxiv + 711, incl. index; plates; illustrations in text. Near-fine condition. "This new biography 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 that confronted him. It draws upon extensive research in archives in Southern Africa, Europe and the US, as well as an expanding scholarship on Plaatje and his writings. It sheds new light not only on Plaatje's public struggles and achievements but upon his personal life and his relationships with his wife and family, friends and supporters. It pays special attention to his formative years, looking to his roots in chiefly societies, his education and upbringing on a German-run mission, and his exposure to the legal and political ideas of the nineteenth-century Cape Colony as sources of inspiration in a life of more or less ceaseless endeavour.".…

Author's signed presentation inscription to half-title. 216 x 150 mm; laminated pictorial wrappers; pp. xvi + 483, incl. index; contemporary illustrations. Fine condition. "Brian Willan has assembled and edited this fascinating collection from a variety of disparate and often obscure sources, making a comprehensive selection of Plaatje's writings available to a wider audience for the first time.".…

215 x 150 mm; laminated pictorial wrappers; pp. xvi + 483, incl. index; contemporary illustrations. Fine condition. "In the course of a prolific career he wrote letters to the press, newspaper articles and editorials, pamphlets, political speeches, evidence to government commissions of enquiry, autobiographical writings (unpublished), and many personal letters. They provide an engaging personal record and a very readable - and revealing - commentary on South African social and political affairs during the era of segregation, from 1899 through to Plaatje's tragically early death in 1932. What he wrote has a unique historical importance, all the more meaningful from the perspective of a democratic South Africa. This fascinating collection has been assembled from a variety of disparate and often obscure sources, making a comprehensive selection of Plaatje's writings available to a wider audience.". …
