DOWNLOAD EBOOK"In Restless Identities the prism of biography is used to capture the complex social identities of its subjects without reducing them to ciphers of larger historical transformations. But this book is not a conventional biography nor is it simply about the recovery of two forgotten nationalists. It draws us directly into the little-understood world of Zulu cultural nationalism and explores the contested process of re-imagining the Zulu nation. Lamula and Maling's hitherto lost biographies dramatise the limits of our understanding of those intellectually heterodox, socially marginal and culturally innovative individuals whose imagination and opportunism were vital to the history of African nationalism in South Africa, but whose stories have yet to be told."--BOOK JACKET.
