In 1995, a South African journalist informed Frank Wilderson, one in every of only two American members of the African National Congress (ANC), that President Nelson Mandela regarded as him “a threat to national security.” Wilderson used to be asked to comment. Incognegro is that “comment.” It’s also his response to a question posed five years later in a California university classroom: “How come you came back?” Even if Wilderson recollects his turbulent life as an expatriate Throughout the furious last gasps of apartheid, Incognegro is at heart a quintessentially American story. Throughout South Africa’s transition, Wilderson taught at universities in Johannesburg and Soweto by day. By night, he helped the ANC coordinate clandestine propaganda, launch psychological warfare, and more. On this mesmerizing political memoir, Wilderson’s lyrical prose flows from unspeakable dilemmas in the red dust and ruin of South Africa to his return to political battles raging quietly on US campuses and in his intimate life. Readers will find themselves overtaken by the subtle but resolute force of Wilderson’s biting wit, rare vulnerability, and insistence on bearing witness to history regardless of the fee.
