The Voices of Liberation 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. This 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. Chris Hani was a key figure in the South African
liberation struggle, yet little has been written about this
enigmatic leader of the SACP and Chief of Staff of Umkhonto we
Sizwe. The year 2013, marks the 20 year anniversary of his
assassination and HSRC Press views the publication of this book as
extremely important, not only to commemorate his death but to
highlight the principles and values for which he stood. As Chief of
Staff of Umkhonto we Sizwe, Chris Hani was prepared to support the
cessation of the armed struggle in the interests of the
negotiations which would benefit the country as a whole; he
represents the importance of dialogue and the relationship between
identity, agency, citizenship and social action. Chris Hani
believed in restoring people to their humanity and the need is now
greater perhaps than ever before to hear his voice loud and clear.
