225 x 145 mm; card wraps; pp. 20. Edition limited to 200 copies. Very good condition. Letters of Alfred Markham written to his cousin, Guy. "The first letter, written over a period of one month, covers the siege [of Ladysmith]. The second letter, written after the siege had been lifted, was sent from Intombi Camp, situated beside the railway four miles south-east of Ladysmith. By agreement between General White and Boer Commandant-General Joubert, the first sick and wounded had been permitted to leave Ladysmith for Intombi Camp on Sunday, November 5. It was here that Alfred Markham was treated for enteric fever before being invalided back to England. After a period of some months' convalescence, he returned to South Africa, where he joined his company in the Eastern Transvaal. The third and fourth letters, addressed from Lydenburg and Middelburg, cover this period. It was in Middelburg that the first (unsuccessful) peace negotiations, between Lord Kitchener and General Louis Botha, took place in February 1902. Peace was finally signed in Pretoria on May 31 1902." - From Introduction.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. This much-awaited volume uncovers the long-lost pages of the major African multilingual newspaper, Abantu-Batho. Founded in 1912 by African National Congress (ANC) convenor Pixley Seme, with assistance from the Swazi Queen, it was published up until 1931, attracting the cream of African politicians, journalists and poets Mqhayi, Nontsisi Mgqweth, and Grendon. In its pages burning issues of the day were articulated alongside cultural by-ways. The People's Paper - comprising both essays and an anthology - explores the complex movements and individuals that emerged in the almost twenty years of its publication. The essays contribute rich, new material to provide clearer insights into South African politics and intellectual life. The anthology unveils a judicious selection of never-before published columns from the paper spanning every year of its life and drawn from repositories on three continents. Abantu-Batho had a regional and international focus, and by examining all these dynamics across boundaries and disciplines, The People's Paper transcends established historiographical frontiers to fill a lacuna that scholars have long lamented. This much-awaited volume uncovers the long-lost pages of the major African multi-lingual newspaper, Abantu-Batho.
