On Inkani
Inkani as an attitude, and a praxis for organising invigorates political resistance and we take inspiration from it as a publisher.
In elite spaces the isiZulu and isiXhosa word ‘inkani’ usually refers to a form of stubborn determination. Sometimes reference is made to its past martial connotations. In recent years the term has made a decisive entry into the politics of the oppressed where it is invariably given a different meaning. The connotation of stubborn resolve remains but, across the country, it is invariably defined as meaning ‘by force’.
There are also other forms of collective work aimed at nurturing and sustaining inkani, such as commitments to share work and knowledge of various kinds, and to cook and eat together. Inkani as a personal and collective attitude in opposition to oppression speaks powerfully to the spirit of the times in which Inkani Books exists. Our books will certainly aim to speak to crucial liberation struggles of the past as well as the present, but we intend to do so with a clear commitment to offering resources to the struggles of the here and now.
