I WRITE WHAT I LIKE
This book is an autobiography of Stephen Bantu
Biko who was born in Kingwilliamstown on the 18 December 1946 who was an apartheid activist.This book is not a
read and pass type of a book; you go back and forth but after those 148 pages
you would not regret it because you realise that it was worth it. To get a
better understanding about black liberation explained in this book you must
invest emotions and analyse situations. This book shapes one’s way of thinking
and brings pain when you think about how black people were treated during the
apartheid era. It also gives you a series of events that helps you understand
why Steve Biko was and still is called the father of black consciousness, which
is a movement he formed in 1968 which fought to restore the dignity of a black
person.
This book shows that Steve Biko is one of the
black icons who could not surrender to being oppressed by the oppressor of that
time, which were white people. Steve was brave enough to go against the policy
of the oppressor. This book gives one inspiration and motivation to be a black
person in this country knowing what our great parents did for us so that we can
harvest the fruits of democracy which are dignity, equality, education, freedom
of movement and many more.
In the last chapter of this book that is where
your heart will melt and be occupied by hate and have mixed emotions because
the last chapter deals more about his assassination.
