This novel (241pg) by Black South African writer Sipho Sepamla, was written about the 1977 Soweto Uprising (they normally call them "riots" because the participants weren't white). It discusses both the students' movement which led the uprising, as well as the armed resistance groups which operated in South Africa during the period of white-rule (and now, thanks to the heroic sellout of Mandela, there is Black rule over economic apartheid, with the white torturers and murderers still free, and white ownership of an vastly unproportionate amount of land still continuing).
