Sobre este artículo
(Pretoria: University of South Africa Press, 2007) 9781868883684. A publication in the Hidden Histories series, edited by Raymond Suttner. 240 x 166 mm; saddle-stitched laminated pictorial wrappers; pp. x + 46, incl. index; illustrations in text. Crease to top edge of lower cover. Very good condition. "The name of Makhanda has long been associated with the unyielding spirit of resistance against oppression of the African people. Many have compared him to Nelson Mandela. As a warrior-prophet of the Xhosa people, he led a monumental attack against British forces in Grahamstown in 1819. Though he failed to defeat them, his reputation as an indomitable freedom fighter was sealed when he escaped from Robben Island in 1820. This volume tells the story of that escape, both exploding the myths that came to surround it and providing new detail about what really happened." .
