“Just when some were
starting to think that there
was nothing new to say about
Nelson Mandela, Paul Landau
comes along to show us just how
much there is still to say about
one of the most consequential
figures of the twentieth century.”

“This novel, elegiac and
sorrowful, is also an
affirmation of the cycle
of life and nature’s
important place in it.”

The book you should read
before you read anything
else on Marikana.
“The Marikana massacre was and is a major event in South Africa’s recent labour and political history. This text draws upon a rich interview base to offer a detailed narrative and a persuasive analysis of the miners’ actions informed by insider voices, that is, by participants. … [It] will be the authoritative book on its topic”
– Tom Lodge, University of Limerick
