Voices Of Liberation - Volume 2

This is a collection of writings by the radical South African journalist Ruth First, compiled by Don Pinnock. First was an activist, scholar and one of the foremost journalists of her time.

As a member of the SA Communist Party, she had an insider’s view into the extraordinary social, political and labour struggles that took place from the end of the Second World War until her exile in 1963. She was assassinated by the apartheid regime in Maputo in 1983.

Her books are academic landmarks in political analysis and her account of detention and interrogation by the Security Police is a powerful indictment of the prisons system.
