Author Biography

Luli Callinicos (Author) : Luli Callinicos was born in Johannesburg, of Hellenic descent. She became involved in the struggle for democracy in South Africa at an early age and taught history in schools and the emerging trade movement. In the late seventies she wrote her pioneering and award-winning trilogy - "Gold and Workers" (1981), "Working Life" (1987) and "A Place in the City" (1993). These volumes brought to the South African public, for the first time, the neglected history of 'ordinary' South Africans. Luli Callincos' command of social history is combined with her deep commitment to conserving the landscape of South Africa's heritage, and celebrating it with the world. Callinicos is also the author of the biography of Oliver Tambo, leader and President of the ANC during its thirty years in exile.
