Masekela uses her life story to illustrate the features and characteristics that typified life in particular places, like Kwa-Guqa in the 1940s, Johannesburg, Alexandra Township, and Inanda Seminary School (for Coloured girls) in Mpumalanga. This memoir is filled with intimate details about the growing pains of a childhood inhibited by strict beliefs and systems, first-hand experiences of struggle and sacrifice, violence and other forms of inhumanity and the deep scars they etch, while also telling the story of the author's life-giving relationship with her siblings. Poli Poli is a remarkable history that speaks to issues of then and now--belonging, African identity, women's rights, and femininity, and is written in the lyricism and transporting detail of one of the country's greatest wordsmiths."-- $c Internet. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 244-248). 600 10 $a Masekela, Barbara $d 1941- 610 27 $a African National Congress. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00549188 650 0 $a Statesmen $z South Africa $v Biography. 650 7 $a Anti-apartheid activists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00810309 650 7 $a Women authors, South African. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177316 651 7 $a South Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204616 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117033055.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B7C290F8A5B811ECBC4A196C2DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
