A Love Letter to the Many is both an in-depth account of how and why the politics of national liberation in South Africa failed, and a bold call for a new praxis-centered transformative politics.

South Africa was once the hope of the world with its impressive and rich tradition of left politics. At the heart of post-apartheid democracy-making was a revolutionary nationalist ANC, the oldest Communist Party in Africa, the SACP, and one of the most militant labour union federations in the world, COSATU. But the country is at a crossroads and many are deeply concerned about its future. Drawing from political economy and ecology, Vishwas Satgar offers a new approach to left politics in South Africa based on social and climate justice.

Vishwas Satgar is Associate Professor of International Relations at the University of the Witswatersrand, editor of the Democratic Marxism book series, and principal investigator for Emancipatory Futures Studies in the Anthropocene. He is an award-winning veteran activist.
