resistance and rebellion in South Africa 1910-1948 : a graphic history

"All rise: resistance and rebellion in South Africa revives six true stories of resistance by marginalized South Africans against the country's colonial government in the years leading up to Apartheid. In six parts--each of which is illustrated by a different South African artist--All Rise shares the long-forgotten struggles of ordinary, working-class women and men who defended the disempowered during a tumultuous period in South African history. From immigrants and miners to tram workers and washerwomen, the everyday people in these stories bore the brunt of oppression and in some cases risked their lives to bring about positive change for future generations"--, Provided by publisher

Foreword by Edwin Cameron -- Foreword by Hlonipha Mokoena -- Introduction: A dusty basement -- Until the ship sails -- In the shadow of a high stone wall -- Come gallows grim -- The widow of Marabastad -- A house divided -- Here I cross to the other side
