Description

"A Lasting Tribute, reflects Es’kia Mphahlele’s intimate connection with Tribute Magazine from its inception in 1987 until 1998. During those eleven years, Mphahlele wrote a monthly column for the magazine in which he shared the wisdom accumulated over a lifetime of experience in South Africa, in African countries and in the United States. And this collection of his articles has been put together as a lasting tribute to the man himself. Mphahlele was an educator, journalist, poet, novelist, satirist, short story writer, philosopher and patriot, and in these essays, his passion, compassion and sincerity transport us through time to experience with him diverse environments, encounters with a variety of human beings and the pain and sadness of witnessing man’s inhumanity to man. An independent thinker, unshackled by party politics and adherence to limiting ideologies, his is a clearly humanistic perspective based on the norms and values inherent in traditional Afrikan culture. Like Steve Biko, Mphahlele saw how much Afrikan people had lost in spirit as a result of dispossession and he too was bent on restoring the Afrikan to the Afrikan. That meant, primarily, belief in one’s Afrikan self, in the same way as people of other cultures understand who they are, and secure in their identities, carry themselves with the confidence derived from their traditional backgrounds Mphahlele propounds his philosophy of Afrikan Humanism in order to restore traditional Afrikan pride and joie de vivre. Though his articles in Tribute Magazine cover the wide scope of his interests, they are driven by his vocation as an educator and reflect his desire to disseminate the freedom that comes with ever-expanding knowledge and understanding"--Publisher's note.
