Systemic racism and sexism caused one of South Africas most important writers to disappear from public consciousness. Is it possible to justly restore her historical presence?Regina Gelana Twala, a Black South African woman who died in 1968 in Swaziland (now Eswatini), was an extraordinarily prolific writer of books, columns, articles, and letters. Yet today Twalas name is largely unknown. Her literary achievements are forgotten. Her books are unpublished. Her letters languish in the dusty study of a deceased South African academic. Her articles are buried in discontinued publications. Joel Cabrita argues that Twalas posthumous obscurity has not developed accidentally as she exposes the ways prejudices around race and gender blocked Black African women like Twala from establishing themselves as successful writers. Drawing upon Twalas family papers, interviews, newspapers, and archival records from Pretoria, Uppsala, and Los Angeles, Cabrita argues that an entire cast of characterscensorious editors, territorial White academics, apartheid officials, and male African politicians whose politics were at odds with her ownconspired to erase Twalas legacy. Through her unique documentary output, Twala marked herself as a radical voice on issues of gender, race, and class. The literary gatekeepers of the racist and sexist society of twentieth-century southern Africa clamped down by literally writing her out of the regions history. Written Out also scrutinizes the troubled racial politics of African history as a discipline that has been historically dominated by White academics, a situation that many people within the field are now examining critically. Inspired by this recent movement, Cabrita interrogates what it means for hera White historian based in the Northern Hemisphereto tell the story of a Black African woman. Far from a laudable recovery of an important lost figure, Cabrita acknowledges that her biography inevitably reproduces old dynamics of White scholarly privilege and dominance. Cabritas narration of Twalas career resurrects it but also reminds us that Twala, tragically, is still not the author of her own life story.

Mega tekst Safari handler om de store naturparker, hvorfor de op-stod og deres historie, samt om de vilde dyrs hårde liv og færden på savannerne enten som byttedyr eller jæge-re. En farm har reddet dyr, der ikke kunne klare sig i naturen og har givet dem et nyt liv. I havet omkring Sydafrika lever havpattedyr, hvor bogen beretter om deres liv og deres problemer. Til sidst er der en strudsefarm, som opdrætter strudse, hvor bogen fortæller om farmen og strudsene. Imellem parker og savanner giver bogen en beskri-velse af apartheid og forholdet mellem sorte og hvide, og de sortes kamp for uddannelse og et bedre liv. Dernæst hvad der skete, som fik de hele til at ek-splodere. Samtidig var der opgør og krig mellem boerne og englænderne. Her gengives forløbet. I Sydafrika ligger to små kongeriger Swaziland og Lesotho, som hver får en beretning om befolkningens og kongernes liv, hvor kongerne lever i luksus og be-folkningen i fattigdom. Derfor immigrerer mange til Sydafrika for at tjene penge, som de sender hjem til deres familier. Til sidst fortæller bogen om vinlandet, og hvordan det opstod, og om Cape Towns grundlægning og store betydning for de første skibe, som sejlede til Indien og Fjernøsten.
