About This Item
New York: Henry Holt and Company [0-8050-0385-1] 1987. (Mass market paperback) xiii, 418pp. Very good. 8vo. The revised and updated edition of the story of Bantu Stephen Biko, the South African anti-apartheid activist , African nationalist, and African socialist. Bilko was arrested in 1977, and beaten severely by at least one of ten police officers, which resulted in three brain lesions, massive head trauma, and a brain haemorrhage. He was left to stand, shackled to a wall. On September 11, he was taken, naaked and manacled, to a hospital 740 miles away. He died, alone in a cell, the next day from 'extensive brain injury'. He was the twenty first person to die in a South African prison in 12 months and the forty sixth political detainee to die in twelve months. Includes black and white photographs..
