This volume, the latest in this ambitious series, is a brilliant collection of essays originally written in Sesotho by Sophonia Machabe Mofokeng. Often confined to the role of “native informants” in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, writers working in African languages laid the foundation for the politics and poetics of decolonization and are legendary among their own communities of readers, though their work remains little known elsewhere.\u003ci\u003e In My Heart \u003c\/i\u003ebelongs to this tradition of colonial renegades. Writing in the 1950s during the cataclysmic events of apartheid that were transforming life in South Africa, Mofokeng offers a series of meditations that provide his readers with a Sesotho worldview outside the categories authorized by colonial knowledge.\u003ci\u003e In My Heart\u003c\/i\u003e, expertly translated by Nhlanhla Maake, introduces a significant African thinker’s influential work to a global readership.","brand":"Seagull Books London Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49744473719128,"sku":"9780857428929","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780857428929_a4f7f5bd-ad92-49d8-b9d2-88e0682efb53.jpg?v=1776806121","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/in-my-heart-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
