| Abstract: | The author suggests that the New Black Poetry of the Seventies in South Africa or, as it is also known, Soweto Poetry retains significance 50 years after it initially began to appear in print and on the platform. To grant substance to his claim, the author returns the poetry to the purpose of its time (in political crisis), then reflects on its contribution to post-apartheid times. Notes, ref., sum.
