Explaining the reasons for the website (Language, Literature and Intellectual History in South Africa: A Conversation) about the New African Movement, a movement whose
historical foundation is in New Negro Modernity and New African Modernity.
The website is still under construction. Click here to send me an email if you have
any input or suggestions.
The website is a historical appraisal of the making of South African modernity across the twentieth century.
The construction of the New African Movement website was begun in September 1997 and was launched on the Internet on August 11 (Wednesday) 2004 at 9:26am.
