Mzala Nxumalo: Leftist Thought and Contemporary South Africa (2023)

The subjects in this book deal with a wide range of topics, including the new social, economic and political challenges facing democratic South Africa; the need to reexamine the critique of capitalism in the 21st century; the relationship between race, class and community struggles; and the ecological challenges under capitalism.

 Nobleman Mzala Nxumalo  ( 1955   1991) was a South African anti-apartheid activist, intellectual, and author.

Nxumalo held significant importance to the anti-apartheid movement. Nxumalo also played heavy roles in the African National Congress (ANC), Umkhonto weSizwe (MK) and the South African Communist Party (SACP) while in exile. During Nxumalo's exile, he would serve liberation movements in Swaziland (now Eswatini), Angola, Mozambique, Tanzania, and the United Kingdom. During this time Nxumalo would write plenty of books, all still subject to heavy debate, about South African revolutionary theory.
