Fatima Meer, a South African academic, public intellectual, and
activist, was a tireless fighter for social justice and human
rights—for which she various suffered banning and detention by
the apartheid government. After the end of apartheid, she declined
a parliamentary seat, choosing instead to continue her advocacy
work. She did, however, subsequently serve the ANC government in
several capacities. She died in 2010, at the age of 81. In Fatima
Meer, Shireen Hassim deftly weaves a narrative in which Meer's
distinctive individuality unfolds. This serves as an apt context
for the second part of the book, which presents Meer's ideas in her
own voice and makes palpable her belief in a common humanity.
