Through the lens of the controversial life of Mary Masabata Loate, a witness for the prosecution at the trial of the ‘Soweto Eleven’ in 1978, Rachel E. Johnson’s book provides an important contribution to our understanding of how gender complicated and compromised the way young black women were forced to navigate their relationship to the Anti-Apartheid struggle. Historically attentive, this book also invites the reader to question what kinds of truths might be delivered from an archive which too often occludes the role in the Anti-Apartheid struggle of South Africa’s youth and young black women in particular. — Annie E. Coombes, Professor Emerita of Material and Visual Culture, Birkbeck, University of London UK. Author of History After Apartheid: Visual Culture and Public Memory in a Democratic South Africa (2003).
