Magema Fuze: The Making of a Kholwa Intellectual (Used)

By (author): Hlonipha Mokoena. Hlonipha Mokoena's study of Magema Fuze, a 19th-century Zulu printer, scribe and popular historian, examines how his "Kholwa" (Christian convert) identity was forged from a mix of colonial and indigenous cultural elements. The book positions Fuze as a significant early Black South African intellectual whose histories were crafted to resonate with readers and inspire nationalist sentiment, illuminating an important but under-recognised strand of South African intellectual history.
