Book Description

This book records the years of Morley Nkosi’s exile from Apartheid South Africa, most of which he spent as an academic in the United States. It is also the story of his life until that forced departure, chronicling the trials, joys, and hopes of a young man born and raised in colonial and Apartheid South Africa. In these pages, he looks back at his upbringing, schooling, early employment, and exposure to the Pan-Africanist ideology that led to his political awakening and, ultimately, to his activism and exile.
