After receiving a missionary education in the Transkeian territories, Xuma traveled to the United States in 1913 to continue his studies, returning to South Africa fourteen years later to enter the cultural and political world of the educated African elite.
In this political biography, Steven Gish situates Alfred B. Xuma's life within the context of fl South African nationalism, and explores the impact of African-American ideas on Xuma's political thought, as well as the degree to which Xuma reshaped these ideas to fit the South African political climate of the 1930s and 1940s.
By tracing Xuma's reaction to white paternalism and "trusteeship," Steven Gish demonstrates that the philosophy of "Africanism" had earlier roots than previously thought.
