Review of Bloke Modisane’s Blame Me on History:

‘Bloke Modisane, whose literary criticism in Tribune has caused heated controversy and whose short stories are among the best on Africa today, has written a powerful and original autobiography which might well stimulate passionate political debating for a long time to come […] In mood and militancy he has much in common with James Baldwin: they are both mercilessly honest, complicated, sensitive men who scorn any kow-towing to the nations of white supremacy or white favours of any sort. But Boke Modisane has a flavour all his own; wry, loathing, and longing for South Africa not given to heroic posturing, resilient’.
