Abstract
This book by Mabogo Percy More, the author of a number of books on African philosophy and anti-black racism, analyzes the views of Black Consciousness activist Steve Biko on race and racism in South Africa under Apartheid (1948–1994). More’s thought-provoking account of leading Western philosophers’ influence on Biko’s ideas and activities also scrutinizes Biko’s reactions to the philosophical trends that influenced the black liberation struggle and especially his rejection of the positions of liberals and Marxists on the question of racism.
