Résumé

Miriam Makeba (1932-2008) was more than a singer; she was a revolutionary force, a cultural ambassador, and for three decades, the uncompromising voice of African resistance against apartheid. This comprehensive biography traces Makeba's extraordinary journey from the vibrant, jazz-infused shantytowns of Sophiatown to the pinnacle of global fame-and the devastating price she paid for speaking truth to power.
Exiled from her homeland for testifying against the regime at the United Nations, she saw her career crumble after marrying Black Power firebrand Stokely Carmichael, yet she refused to be silenced. Examine the three pillars of her eternal legacy: the musical innovator who pioneered "World Music" and brought the Xhosa click to global charts with "Pata Pata"; the courageous activist who championed Pan-Africanism and risked everything for justice; and the enduring symbol who finally returned home in triumph to sing at Nelson Mandela's inauguration.
From the tumultuous Graceland tour to her final, symbolic performance for migrant dignity in Italy, this book is a vital history of courage, sacrifice, and the enduring power of a single voice to change the world. Approx.165 pages, 32900 word count
