Archival Significance

Terence Ranger’s cover endorsement frames the book as evidence that such a constituency existed and mattered.
Archival Significance
Written by Maurice Nyagumbo during nearly two decades of imprisonment for his political activities, this autobiography survived two failed smuggling attempts before a third succeeded, with historian Terence Ranger assisting its publication in 1980. At the time it was described as one of the most significant publishing events in post-independence Zimbabwe, the first major autobiography by a Black nationalist leader published by a formerly settler-market Rhodesian press.
