“…The struggle of black people inevitably appear in an intensely cultural form because the social formation in which their distinct political traditions are now manifest has constructed the arena of politics on ground overshadowed by centuries of metropolitan capitalist development, thereby denying them recognition as legitimate politics. Blacks conduct a class struggle in and through race. The BC of race and class cannot be empirically separated, the class character of black struggles is not a result of the fact that blacks are predominantly proletarian, thought this is true…”- (Frank Talk Staff Writers in ‘Azania Salutes Tosh’ – circa 1981)

Pumflet 'Black Peace' (Wolff Architects, 2025)

Store/African Indie Books/Wolff Architects

Product Details

'black peace' is meditation on home as both a space of belonging and arrest. In the context of Southern Africa, political figures like Winnie Madikezela-Mandela and Robert Sobukwe worked and organised from home under conditions of state violence: house arrest, exile and confinement.

Others like Sol Plaatje and Bessie Head found in their homes a sense freedom. Plaatjie, as a token of deep appreciation for a lifetime of depicting and protesting the Native Land Act of 1913, received his home as a gift from his friends on his 50th birthday. Head, constructed her home from the proceeds of her first novel When Rainclouds Gather, this, after years of enduring enforced exile from South Africa and a continued refugee status in Botswana, the location of her house.

This publication honours theirs and others such as Ellen Kuzwayo's work and their domestic space.
