One of the main ‘issues in English Studies in Southern Africa’ has turned on the proper subject-matter and identity of local writers: should they act as recorders of, or protesters and activists against, injustice – or are other topics and methods, perhaps more aesthetic or personal, more appropriate for them? Or does such a debate miss the point? This matter is discussed by means of a brief consideration of Chris Mann's poetry between 1977 and 2006 and his use of art and music to accompany it
