Abstract

Il contributo propone la traduzione critica di un articolo scritto dall'accademico dell'Università di Johannesburg Salim Vally sulla vita e il pensiero del linguista e attivista anti-apartheid sudafricano Neville Alexander (1936 - 2012). L'articolo, uscito con il titolo originale The Battle for the Truth – Youth Resistance, Neoliberalism and an Appreciation of Neville Alexander, ripercorre le tappe fondamentali della vita di Alexander, compresa la sua detenzione nel carcere di Robben Island, tracciando un ritratto di intellettuale organico contemporaneo di grande forza esemplare.
