Description
"The extracts from memoirs, letters, poetry and interviews gathered here are testimony to the indomitable spirit of defiance which has empowered prisoners throughout Africa's colonial and postcolonial history to survive their incarceration. Subject to ordeals ranging from torture and relentless privation to emotional cruelty and 'hideous boredom', men and women in detention adopt deliberate strategies - including thinking, writing, reading, talking, laughing and singing - for preserving their sanity and their dignity."--BOOK JACKET.
