This book, which examines the role of African women in the
conversation on nationalism during South Africa’s era of
segregation, excavates female voices and brings them to the
provocative fore. From 1910 to 1948, African women contributed to
political thought as editorialists, club organizers, poets,
leaders, and activists who dared to challenge the country’s
segregationist regime at a time when it was bent on consolidating
White power. Daughters of Africa founder Cecilia Lillian Tshabalala
and National Council of African Women President Mina Tembeka Soga
feature in this work, which employs the artistic theory of
“sampling” and decoloniality to highlight and showcase how
these women and others among their cadre spoke truth to power
through the fiery lines of their poetry, newspaper columns,
thought-provoking speeches, organizational documents, personal
testimonies, and musical compositions. It argues that these African
women left behind a blueprint to grapple with and contest the
political climate in which they lived under segregation, by
highlighting the role and agency of African women intellectuals at
Apartheid’s dawn.
