Description

Few people could speak more authoritatively about the black experience in the twentieth century or from such a unique experience as Peter Abrahams. Long recognised as one of Africa's first black writers of the fifties and sixties with Song of the City (1945) and Mine Boy (1946), Abrahams has travelled and lived in the worlds most famous urban centres and counted as his peers such renowned literary figures as Richard Wright, James Baldwin as well as the 'father' of the Pan-Africanist movement, George Padmore. In this larger than life memoir, personal history is the basis for the examination the challenge for people of colour to be whole and unselfconscious...readers will be struck by the portrayal of an international brotherhood of black reform and revolutionaries and the international connectedness of our problems and solutions. The Coyaba Chronicles is an exceptional read. Abrahams' meditations on the problems of blackness are both wrenching and powerful and the story of his personal life engaging and illuminating. Peter Abrahams is best known in Europe for the novels he has published with Faber and with Heinemann which reflect on his experiences firstly in South Africa and latterly in the Caribbean. In the years of apartheid he became the representative for the South African African National Congress in that region, and there met with many luminaries of the Pan-African movement: Richard Wright, James Baldwin and George Padmore.
