"Most of world history in general is full of terrible stories about wars and violence. But this is not the only story, because people have survived to tell what happened." https://t.co/95opongFKi

"In the African literary context, books like this are all the more important as they show that, in the past few years, African writers have assertively pushed back against the 'single story'.” https://t.co/tkRe961Q78

"Fugard’s people – tramps, discarded people, poor people, people on the fringes – are connected with all the people we know of today who are refugees. His work helped people to understand the world we live in and the human condition." https://t.co/VigTzeJmAf via @TC_Africa

"Many individual Africans and their kingdoms were not powerless when dealing with Europeans. They could push back and succeed. The Mpfumans were able to rid themselves of the English and the Dutch when they desired." https://t.co/Pygd8R4QFG via @TC_Africa

“South African music under apartheid is often shown as the ‘soundtrack’ to history. Or often the history is seen as mere ‘background’ to the music. But Moerane’s music was not a soundtrack to history: it was part of history.” https://t.co/a9ToVRDb5c via @TC_Africa
