Reviews

‘An insightful historical account of the life and times of Deneys Schreiner. Not only should the story of Deneys be told because he belonged to the illustrious Schreiner family of social activists, but also because of his role at critical periods in the history of our country and his contribution to the inauguration of a democratic South Africa.’ — Blade Nzimande
