Changes, man!

About the Book

"A record of an era of rapid transition, this is a collection in the poetic idiom covering the last years of exile and the early days of the new democratic South Africa - a book bound together more by its documentary nature than strictly aesthetic considerations. It is a sober account of happenings around the world by a mature sensibility, by all means African."

About the Author

Tswagare Namane fi rst wrote from East Africa doing propaganda work for the liberation movement; and later contributed in various English language newspapers, mostly short stories that sought to illustrate for Africans outside and others the real situation facing the oppressed inside South Africa. A number of his poems appear in anthologies published around the world. Transitions - a collection of poems was published from London in 1997. This book, fi rst published in e-form, is his second major work. He has in the meantime since published My Land (Bits and Pieces), a contemporary collection of poems.
