PRODUCT INFO
Sol Plaatje's Mafeking Diary, kept during the famous siege of 1899-1900, is one of South Africa's finest pieces of writing and a foretaste of his brilliant career. Yet it has never had the acclaim and attention it deserves. In this book, fifty years on from the diary's first publication, a distinguished cast of contributors shed new light on the remarkable qualities of the diary and the circumstances in which it was written, giving readers new insights into the life and writings of Sol Plaatje. In addition, three short stories inspired by the diary are included in this collection.
