ISBN: 9781869141912 / 1869141911 Magema Fuze: The Making of a Kholwa Intellectual by Hlonipha Mokoena. Published by UKZN Press, 2011. Softcover. New. 350 pp.

This book examines the life of Magema Fuze and suggests that Kholwa identity was fashioned through the practice of bricolage: the cobbling together, in indeterminate and sometimes contradictory ways, of elements from both colonial and indigenous cultures.

Magema Fuze's literary life represents a black intellectual tradition whose potential was not realized. Beyond his work as a printer and scribe, it is worth adding another role, namely that Fuze was a popular South African historian who attempted to write histories with intimate resonances that would appeal to his readers and rouse their nationalistic sentiments.
