BOOK REVIEWS
"Taken as a whole, this collection of essays is an important addition to the scholarship on Steve Biko. It contributes not only to a deeper understanding of what philosophy is, but also how Biko's writing can be considered philosophical."--Martin Murray, Professor of Sociology, SUNY Binghamton�"I never thought I would read anything like this that reminded me of the 'good old days' when we were giddy with hopes and enthusiasm for recreating our own world! Biko Lives! will ruffle many feathers. People who have been trying to 'program' the forward movement of history and human development are going to have to think again."--Bokwe Mafuna, former journalist, founding organizer of the Black Workers' Project, and friend of Steve Biko's
