Having endured a year of homelessness and near-starvation for want of employment in Natal, in 1939 the author, a man "of colour", signed on as a stoker, and arrived in England in 1941, where he made his home. He briefly worked as a clerk with a communist book distributing agency, and later for the Daily Worker, a communist publication, but revolted against the one-sided views and censorship of his work that he considered as equally restrictive as apartheid. In 1952, he returned to South Africa, the country of his birth, wanting to reach the "hearts and minds of some of the 33,000,000 non-whites who live under the rule of 3,000,000 whites in the vast areas of South, Central and East Africa."
