Of Land, Bones, and Money: Toward a South African Ecopoetics - Under the Sign of Nature
Emily McGiffin
The oral poets of the amaXhosa people have long shaped understandings of history and offered a forum for grappling with change. This book examines the role of these poets in South African society and the ways in which they have helped inform responses to apartheid, the injustices of extractive capitalism, and contemporary politics in South Africa.
