Comrade Jack - The Political Lectures and Diary of Jack Simons, Nova Catengue (Paperback, illustrated edition)

Comrade Jack sketches the life of the late Jack Simons, an intellectual, distinguished academic, Marxist and archetypal revolutionary. The title is a social commentary that details the ideologies of this hero of the liberation struggle in South Africa. Comrade Jack Simons was a dynamic and dedicated philosopher, teacher, friend and advisor in the classroom, in his own home and in the military camps of Umkonto we Sizwe in Angola and Tanzania amongst other places. His diaries vividly describe the experiences of these camps. Comrade Jack's political lectures are legendary. He never compromised in his research and analysis, and utilised his findings in the service of the struggle against apartheid. He taught many who are in government structures today. His unique and remarkable talents as a teacher and great philosopher make him a giant in South Africa's struggle for freedom. His teachings and methodology are still of interest today to historians, political commentators, students and civil society organizations saddled with the task of reconstructing political education programmes in our fledgling democracy.
