This series celebrates the lives and writings of South African and
African liberation activists and heroes. The human, social and
literary contexts presented in this series have a critical
resonance and bearing on where we come from, who we are and how we
can choose to shape our destiny. The Voices of Liberation series
ensures that the debates and values that shaped the liberation
movement are not lost. The series offers a unique combination of
biographical information with selections from original speeches and
writings in each volume. By providing access to the thoughts and
writings of some of the many men and women who fought for the
dismantling of apartheid, colonialism and capitalist legacy, this
series invites the contemporary reader to engage directly with the
rich history of the struggle for democracy and the restoration of
our own identity. The title of the series has been carefully chosen
as it speaks to its purpose - which is not only to make a
particular voice resonate but to strengthen the voice from the
South and Africa in particular. Bantu Steve Biko is an icon of
liberation whose voice and actions continue to contribute to the
shaping of national discourse, identity, culture and values. HSRC
Press views this as an extremely important contribution to the
series, not least because he represents the importance of dialogue
and the relationship between identity, agency, citizenship and
social action. Steve Biko believed in restoring people to their
humanity and the need is now greater perhaps than ever before to
hear his voice loud and clear.
