Ntongela Masilela (1948–2020) is perhaps best known for collecting, archiving, and expounding on the works of South African and other African intellectuals—most notably members of the New African Movement—who historically had been overlooked or forgotten. Busani Ngcaweni presents a selection of Masilela's most important essays, prefacing each with an illuminating introduction that places the work in historical context and highlights it significance.
Busani Ngcaweni, director general of South Africa’s National School of Government, is also visiting adjunct professor in the School of Governance at the University of the Witwatersrand and senor research associate at the University of Johannesburg.
