Mazisi Kunene's “Thoughts on June 26 (South African Liberation Day)”

-
My friend and colleague Gwen Becker pointed out to me how this brilliant poem by South African writer Mazisi Kunene could be read not only in a voice of defiance, but of profound ambivalence. "Was I wrong when I thought All shall be avenged? Was I wrong when I thought The rope of iron holding the neck of young bulls Shall be avenged? Was I wrong When I thought the orphans of sulphur Shall rise from the ocean? Was I depraved when I thought there need not be love There need not be forgiveness, there need not be progress, There need not be goodness on the earth, There need not be towns of skeletons, Sending messages of elephants to the moon? Was I wrong to laugh asphyxiated ecstasy When the sea rose like quicklime When the ashes on ashes were blown by the wind When the infant sword was left alone on the hilltop? Was I wrong to erect monuments of blood? Was I wrong to avenge the pillage of Caesar? Was I wrong? Was I wrong? Was I wr

Tom Zarek: Underserved by the otherwise excellent writers. Most of the anti-Gaeta sentiment I've heard is empty chatter, calling Gaeta "a coward" or "power mad" or "a weasel."

One of the many reasons we need African teachers in classrooms--we can see excellence in African students that most European teachers totally miss

These days I'm thinking, writing, and doing plenty about the need for Africentric education. Below find an e xcerpt from my novel THE ALCHEMISTS OF KUSH , soon to be republished by MVMedia , based on one of my experiences as a teacher of some very smart young African men whose intelligence at discussing, analysing, and writing about literature no non-African teacher had ever bothered to notice or encourage. If you want to read a study of 157,000 US kids explaining why kids of all racial backgrounds preferred African and Latinx teachers to European settler teachers, well, I've got one for you right here . If you'd rather read the short NPR summary, I've got you covered . And now, on with the show: “You two kill me!” said Moon that same night at the Hyper-Market. “I’m really disappointed with you!” Raptor and Jackal, staring at feet, floor, walls, anything. “Well?” pressed the older man. “Brother Moon, what difference does it make?” said Jackal. “We’re still gonna
