Yet today Twala's name is largely unknown. Her literary achievements are forgotten. Her books are unpublished. Her letters languish in the dusty study of a deceased South African academic. Her articles are buried in discontinued publications. Joel Cabrita argues that Twala's posthumous obscurity has not developed accidentally as she exposes the ways prejudices around race and gender blocked Black African women like Twala from establishing themselves as successful writers. Drawing upon Twala's family papers, interviews, newspapers, and archival records from Pretoria, Uppsala, and Los Angeles, Cabrita argues that an entire cast of characters--censorious editors, territorial White academics, apartheid officials, and male African politicians whose politics were at odds with her own--conspired to erase Twala's legacy. Through her unique documentary output, Twala marked herself as a radical voice on issues of gender, race, and class. The literary gatekeepers of the racist and sexist society of twentieth-century southern Africa clamped down by literally writing her out of the region's history."-- $c Back cover. 500 $a First published in the United States by Ohio University Press. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 600 10 $a Twala, Regina G., $d 1908-1968. 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a Anthropologists $z Eswatini $v Biography. 650 0 $a Social workers $z South Africa $v Biography. 650 0 $a Anti-apartheid activists $z Eswatini $v Biography. 650 0 $a Anti-apartheid activists $z South Africa $v Biography. 650 7 $a Anthropologists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00810184 650 7 $a Anti-apartheid activists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00810309 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 650 7 $a Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 650 7 $a Social workers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01123585 651 0 $a South Africa $x Social conditions $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Eswatini $x Social conditions $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Eswatini $x Social life and customs $y 20th century. 651 7 $a Eswatini. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01214603 651 7 $a South Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204616 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117011258.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F60701E056B111EEB3013A8641ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
