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).

This story was written by the Sicilian writer Giovanni Verga (1840-1922), about a small rural town's revolt during the time the Italian nationalist Giusepped Garibaldi was in Sicily. Not only does this work depict a minor revolution of the peasants and the poor, it also shows how empty bourgeois nationalism is for the lower class, for freedom from foreign domination may improve the lot of the lower classes, but in the end bourgeois nationalism still perpetuates a subjugation of the lower classes, and works against genuine class struggle in every way possible.
