Abstract
The book ‘Riotous Deathscapes’ by Hugo Ka Canham proposes Mpondo Theory as a both a black and indigenous way of understanding life and death. Canham writes with a deep sense of emotion. These are emotions that reveal the author’s deep connections with Mpondoland. One is not surprised by this, seeing how, the author has previously written on subjects such as protest and black rage in prior works (see Canham, 2017; 2018; 2024).
