Dr JJ Klaas’s Triangle of One Hundred Years' Wars is a powerful and intellectually rigorous contribution that centres African experiences and agency within a long history of resistance and survival. As an African person, the book is profoundly important because it reclaims our narratives from colonial erasure, offering a validating and instructive mirror for understanding identity, struggle, and the ongoing quest for justice. Enkosi mhlekazi ngomsebenzi wakho omhle.
