Flashes in her Soul is the story of Jabu Ndlovu, a shop steward of
the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa and a community
leader in Imbali near Pietermaritzburg. Jabu, her husband and her
oldest daughter were killed in a brutal attack on their home in May
1989. This story shows the courage and compassion with which Jabu
fought against all forms of exploitation. Her story represents the
experiences of thousands of women who struggled and suffered as a
result of the war in KwaZulu-Natal in the 1980s and 1990s. Jabu’s
story reminds us of the devastation that violence brings to
families, communities and organisations. The politics and dynamics
behind the violence today are not the same as in the 1980s and
early 1990s, but the need remains for strong and moral leaders like
Jabu to speak out and organise against the violence and the moral
corruption that lies behind it. First published in 1991, this is
the second book in the Hidden Voices Series. The Hidden Voices
Series emerged out of an interest in left intellectual
contributions towards discussions on race, class, ethnicity and
nationalism in South Africa. Before and during the apartheid years,
many universities were closed to existing local ideas and debates,
and critical intellectual debates, ideas, texts, poetry and songs
often originated outside academia during the period of the struggle
for liberation. The Hidden Voices Series seeks to publish key
texts, books, documents and other materials that were never
published under apartheid, or seminal books that have gone out of
print. We hope that these recovered, lost or forgotten voices will
help reinvigorate the humanities and social sciences, and
contribute to the decolonisation of knowledge production in South
Africa and indeed throughout Africa.
