Description: New. This is a collection of the writing of the famous activist and black consciousness leaders Steve Biko, prefaced by Archbishop Desmond Tutu. read more
"With respect said to the late honorable Steve Biko, some of his writings were above my IQ. That been said, a true icon that can truly be seen as the world's first black Christ."
"I read select articles from this in World Lit. and fell in love with Biko. Here is someone who, against all odds, fought for what he believed in and didn't care who hated him for it. We had a discussion in class saying how Biko is pretty BA. I can't see how anyone aposed him."
"Biko is considered the father of the Black Consciousness movement in South Africa. He was murdered by South African police. Although he wrote in the 60's and 70's, his brilliance and vision for dignified communities and a better way of life continue to inspire."
"Steven Biko was one of the most famous leaders of the struggle for freedom and equality in South Africa. His fight was not only against apartheid, but more specifically against the ill-effects it was having on the mindset of the Africans being subjected to these cruelties. This book is a collection of essays by and interviews with the man who has been called the originator of the Black Consciousness movement. Black Consciousness was a movement designed to help Black Africans relearn to respect themselves and their culture. Years of maltreatment had created a psyche of dependence on others, doubt in their own abilities, and disrespect for their culture and traditions. Biko was controversial in that he wanted white anti-apartheid groups and black anti-apartheid groups to operate by themselves and not rely on each other. He argued that before the two groups could ever stand together, each group had to learn to stand alone. Building up the pride and psyche of the South African minorities to a point where they could take control of and change their political destiny was the concept behind Black Consciousness and there is no telling how important it was to the movement there. Biko's writings show a very sensitive awareness to the needs of his fellow men on both sides of the conflict. These essays put on display a genius in political thought and social theory, the ability to rally people around him with words, the righteousness that comes with centuries of political oppression and a lot more. Biko is a man I respect who I feel truly believed in, fought for and died for a cause. Most men that become famous for their actions are looking for fame and glory even if their publicized aims are good and noble. Reading Biko makes it clear to me he was not about himself, he was about his people."
