The Forge invites you to the launch of Noni Jabavu: A Stranger at Home introduced by Makhosazana Xaba and Athambile Masola.
“This book is a compilation of columns written by Helen Nontando (Noni) Jabavu for the Daily Dispatch newspaper in East London in 1977. It is a significant slice of history and a project against the erasure and flattening of Black women’s identities.”
– Makhosazana Xaba
“This book is an intentional calling of Noni’s name in order to resist the intellectual erasure of her work.”
–Athambile Masola
