Here’s the thing about reading beautiful writing…it takes time, in large part to accomodate its prismatic, bearly describable wonders…the glimmers at visions corners that dance when the good book is put down and you stare into space.

So glad this is out! I return to the 1976 Soweto Uprising at its 50th anniversary and the revolts that preceded it, reading apartheid as a longer settler colonial formation shaped by Dutch and British rule. I engage Black Consciousness, its afterlives, #Fallism, and what still remains to be done.
