First president: a life of John L. Dube, founding president of the ANC

"This monograph involved the collection and analysis of extensive primary sources, many of them hard to access. In addition to making use of archives in twelve repositories across three continents, in the UK, North America and South Africa, the work required the collection of extensive oral histories to fill the gap left by lost archival material, across South Africa. Obtaining and using these resources required the author to work in five languages, both orally and in writing, over a period of ten years."
