Abstract

Regina Gelana Twala was an important intellectual and activist of mid-century Southern Africa. She authored numerous manuscripts, wrote hundreds of journal articles, co-founded a political party, and was one of the few trained Black female anthropologists of her period. Yet today her name is forgotten by all but a few. This short essay investigates the circumstances that led to Twala’s erasure, including the agents responsible for her marginalization. It also reflects on the final goal of Twala’s work finally being published in its own right, under Twala’s own name, for all the world to read.
