The most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed. Like all of Steve Bikos writings, those words testify to the passion, courage, and keen insight that made him one of the most powerful figures in South Africas struggle against apartheid. They also reflect his conviction that black people in South Africa could not be liberated until they united to break their chains of servitude, a key tenet of the Black Consciousness movement that he helped found. I Write What I Like contains a selection of Bikos writings from 1969, when he became the president of the South African Students Organization, to 1972, when he was prohibited from publishing. The collection also includes a preface by Archbishop Desmond Tutu; an introduction by Malusi and Thoko Mpumlwana, who were both involved with Biko in the Black Consciousness movement; a memoir of Biko by Father Aelred Stubbs, his longtime pastor and friend; and a new foreword by Professor Lewis Gordon. Bikos writings will inspire and educate anyone concerned with issues of racism, postcolonialism, and black nationalism.
