Abstract
This excerpt from To Kill a Man's Pride was published in the February 1980 issue of the South African literary magazine Staffrider. The publishers of Staffrider, Ravan Press, announced at that time that the full text would appear in Forced Landing, a new collection of contemporary black South African writings edited by Mothobi Mutloatse. The next issue of Staffrider (June 1980) carried a notice that Forced Landing had been banned. All three titles in the Ravan Press ‘Staffrider Series’ of contemporary South African writings have now been banned. The other two titles (banned in 1979) are Africa My Beginning by Ingoapele Madingoane (reviewed in Index on Censorship 5/1980, pp 74–6) and Call Me Not a Man, a collection of stories by Mtutuzeli Matshoba (see Index on Censorship 6/1980, pp 8–12). Forced Landing will be published in Britain by Heinemann Educational Books under the title Africa South: Contemporary Writings.
