Tiyo Soga:

An African Voice in History, Faith, and Freedom

Presenting fresh scholarship on the pivotal nineteenth century Xhosa intellectual Reverend Tiyo Soga (1829–1871), this collection reframes how we understand a sophisticated thinker who navigated multiple worlds with remarkable ease and influence.

The authors not only significantly expand the documentary record of Soga's life and work, but also demonstrate his enduring significance to contemporary debates in South Africa about identity, culture, and intellectual heritage.
