One of South Africa's best-known writers during the apartheid era,
Alex La Guma was a lifelong activist and a member of the South
African Communist Party and the African National Congress.
Persecuted and imprisoned by the South African regime in the 1950s
and 60s, La Guma went into exile in the United Kingdom with his
wife and children in 1966, eventually serving as the ANC's
diplomatic representative for Latin America and the Caribbean in
Cuba. Culture and Liberation captures a different dimension of his
long writing career by collecting his political journalism,
literary criticism, and other short pieces published while he was
in exile. This volume spans La Guma's political and literary life
in exile through accounts of his travels to Algeria, Lebanon,
Vietnam, Soviet Central Asia, and elsewhere, along with his
critical assessments of Paul Robeson, Nadine Gordimer, Maxim Gorky,
Alexander Solzhenitsyn, and Pablo Neruda, among other writers. The
first dedicated collection of La Guma's exile writing, Culture and
Liberation restores an overlooked dimension of his life and work,
while opening a window on a wider world of cultural and political
struggles in Africa, Asia, and Latin America during the second half
of the twentieth century.
