You empowered me. Neville Alexander stands out because he was lyrical and disciplined about the pen and its political and cultural value, and which is why I have spent the past thirty-two years or so trying to understand his imagination and the organizations in which he experimented. This thesis on his written works is an exploration of his contributions to making a “better life for all”. An intellectual engagement with my political history involves Neville, my sisters, my brothers, and my comrades, my lovers, my primary schooling at Chapel Street Primary in Woodstock, my secondary schooling at Harold Cressy High School, my fraught and unhappy tertiary schooling at the University of Cape Town, and growing up in Queens Road, Woodstock, in Cape Town. My jobs have been in distributing Upbeat magazine in Cape Town, administering and editing the political journal, Free Azania, teaching in Cape Town and Windhoek, bus driving for City Tramways, researching, directing small parts of peace education work, and editing at commercial newspapers and at universities. From about 1987, Neville and I were politically and socially estranged and we re-embraced and started working in a small way with each other again in the months before he died in August 2012. To my friend, partner and wife, Lesley Boardman, whom I met over thirty years ago and who grounds and assists me in my rough explorations of new ways of thinking and loving every day, I’d like to say thank you. To Na’illa Dollie and Ri’aad Dollie, my sister and my brother, and to Nadia Dollie, my sister-in-law, who have tolerated my numerous adventures, I want to say that little has changed in our love for one another, and my master’s thesis (which is a starting point for this doctoral study) on Neville would have been far more difficult to finish had it not been for your solidarity and care. Ri’aad, you made room in your caregiver’s life, and gave me substantial portions of your time even though you live a busy life. You critically commented on the chapters of this thesis as they were evolving. You are not responsible for my interpretations of your many insights and proposals, and while your expansive imagination permeates many concepts used in this iv doctoral study on a person who was instrumental in pointing you, Na’illa and me in radical and Marxist directions, your insights and sociological and anthropological positions are unacknowledged notes and footnotes, even though you don’t like these footnotes, that I will always remember. They appear in interpretive ways throughout this thesis. Kim Siebert, you taught me techniques about how to read pictures and images; Ottilié Abrahams, you taught me about organization, integrities and love for children; and Crain Soudien, whom I’ve known since the early 1980s, who was part of Neville’s Marxist cells, and who wittingly and unwittingly managed my reconnection and reconciliation with Neville in late 2011 and early 2012, I’d like to say thank you. Marcus Solomon, I reported to you in the early 1980s at Sached Trust, and I know you are uncomfortable about the idea of me having had to “report” to you, but I did. Your Marxism was so rooted that it reminded me of my mother’s comfort food. I hope I’m not misrepresenting you, but I’d like to acknowledge your basic and I think primal instincts about loves, tastes and life. Your work ethic, your peculiarities and your fundamental respect for people confirmed that icons are human beings with their frailties and strengths. Theresa Solomon, I always thought you were courageous and firm in holding your own counsel. Thank you both for being a part of my political life that I shared in the early 1980s with my inspiring mother, Gamieda Dollie, and with Gezine Krüger, Melanie Walker, Brian Ashley (formerly Hotz), Mercia Andrews, Maria van Driel, Pumezo Lupuwana, Ian Phimister, Rita Edwards and Timothy Bruinders. I’d like to make a special mention of two people whose dedication to and passion for revolutionary change sustained me over many years. Derrick Naidoo, like me, you were a foot soldier of one of Neville’s many Marxist groups in the early 1980s. You and I saw each other almost once every week for at least two years, and I recall your dedication and tireless energy. Together with Neville as lead author, Frank van der Horst and Peter Meyer, you and I were part of a team that produced a critical document titled “Let us unite in the year of the United Front”, and we used the pseudonym, Stuurman. This was our explanation and our reasoning for creating and participating in the National Forum Committee, and it was our rationale for opposing a “popular front” whose later incarnation was the United Democratic Front launched in August 1983, two months after we had launched the National Forum Committee. With Neville’s guidance, I also wrote the short booklet, Nusas: A people’s history, and you and I travelled, once together and at other times separately, the country to v distribute these two and other documents. In different ways, I drew some of my strength from the example you set to violently and steadfastly oppose the apartheid-capitalist regime. Ashley du Plooy, I recruited you into Neville’s Marxist cells, and you brought a sophisticated rawness to politically organizing students at high schools, and then at universities. Your work ethic always astounded me and whatever task you were given or that you set yourself, you would doggedly go about getting it done in as short a time as possible. At times almost single-handedly, you brought out Solidarity newspaper, which was managed by Armien Abrahams, and you helped me collate and distribute the political journal, Free Azania, which I edited at Neville’s behest. Ashley and Derrick, you have made lasting imprints on me. I also would like to thank Miriam (Milly) Dollie and Zenobia Salie for looking after my mother in the last years of her life; Peter and Audrey Meyer; Jean Pease; Vivienne Baskin, who was a teacher at Harold Cressy High School, for introducing me to the wonders of “absurd theatre”, and who was the first person in my life who experimented with the works of Eugene Ionesco, and you did so in the obscene repression of the mid-1970s when I was still a high school student; Ayesha Rajah who accepted my invitation to join me as a teacher at Jakob Marengo Tutorial College in Windhoek, and who has remained my and Ottilié Abrahams’s constant friend; Salim Vally, who has been Neville’s consistent friend and political ally for about thirty years; Hergen Junge, Laura Sasman, Catherine Sasman, Da’oud Vries, Helga Hoveka, Gwen Lister, John Block, and Henrietta Sasman, who shared big parts of my chaotic life in the Namibia of the late 1980s and early 1990s;

Additionally, Hirson's autobiographical work Revolutions in my life (1995) has been consulted. Baruch Hirson was born on December 191, 1921 at Doomfontein near Johannesburg in the Transvaal province (South Africa) as a son of Joseph Hirson, an electrician, and his wife Lily (b. Clingman). The parents were Jews who had immigrated to South Africa from Latvia, which then formed part of the Czarist Empire. The boy was named after his recently deceased grandfather, but in conformity with at- tempts of better integrating into the new society was often called Bertram or Bertie for short. In 1946 Hirson married Yael Sherman (1926-?) who later became a paediatrician. The couple got two sons and one daughter: Denis, Allen and Zoe. Hirson grew up in a lower middle-class white Jewish community, was sent to the Talmud Torah (a Hebrew school) at the age of four, and attended primary school and high school from 1927 to 1938 and then earned his living by various jobs.

  • SPARK and the 'RED NUN' Baruch Hirson
    SPARK AND THE 'RED NUN' Baruch Hirson Spark — A Revolutionary Journal From June 1935, through August 1939, the journal Spark was sold in the streets of Cape Town. This mimeographed paper, directed to workers and intellectuals, was the most advanced left-wing publication of the time in South Africa. It carried a mix of international surveys from the pen of Leon Trotsky and his followers, and discussion of events in South Africa. Informed by readings of Marx and Engels, local events were subjected to critical analysis. There were appraisals of the state of the economy, the nature of the working class, the calling of the All African Convention to meet the threat of Cape African disenfranchisement, and the Indian and Coloured organizations of Natal and the Cape. Spark was edited and produced by the Workers Party of South Africa (WPSA) and although the existence of that organization and its paper are barely remembered today, they had an impact at the time that transcended the boundaries of the small group in Cape Town. Some of its adherents emerged later inside the Non-European Unity Movement, but by that time they had moved far from the original programme of this pioneer Trotskyist movement. Copies of Spark are not easily available today, and we reprint two articles in this issue. It is possible to reproduce articles from Spark, but retrieving information about the members of the Workers Party is more difficult. Their names are forgotten by most, and even where they are known, they remain shadowy figures. Some came from eastern Europe and brought with them the traditions of Marxism, others were South Africans who rebelled against the accepted values of an oppressive society.

PUB DATE 28 Dec 73 NOTE 30p.; Paper presented at annual meeting of the Modern Language Association (88th, Chicago, Illinois, December 28, 1973); Best Copy Available EDRS PRICE EF-$0.76 HC-$1.95 PLUS POSTAGE DESCRIPTORS *Artificial Languages; Consonants; Diachronic Linguistics; Language Patterns; *Language Variation; Lexicolcgy; *Morphophonemics; Orthographic Symbols; Phonemics; Phonology; Sociolinguistics; Spelling; *Structural Analysis; *Synchronic Linguistics; Uncommonly Taught Languages; Vowels IDENTIFIERS *Esperanto ABSTRACT This paper discusses Esperanto as a planned language and refutes three myths connected to it, namely, that Esperanto is achronical, atopical, and apragmatic. The focus here is on a synchronic analysis. Synchronic variability is studied with reference to the structuralist determination of "marginality" and the dynamic linguistic description of "linguistic variables." Marginality is studied on the morphophonemic and on the lexical level. Linguistic variability is studied through a sociolinguistic survey. The sociolinguistic evidence is seen to converge with the structuralist evidence, and the synchronic analysis with earlier diachronic studies. It is hoped that this analysis will contribute toa redirection of scholarly work on Esperanto. (AM) ft'I,fF, zs- tom. ft ' t-' ."; rfl r4 ; fi S4* 3 4)4 r, J a.
