"In the Twilight of the Revolution: The Pan Africanist Congress of Azania (South Africa) 1959-1994" by Kwandiwe Kondlo is an attempt to fill these gaps in our historical knowledge of the liberation struggle in South Africa. Even though inadvertently, it seeks to reverse the historical marginalization of "other" heroes and heroines and "other" liberation movements whose stories now sit on the sidelines of history. Their stories are not included as part of significant national collective memory simply because their organisations performed poorly in the elections of 1994 and those of subsequent years.
