It comes out of the privilege Doreen Musson had of almost walking in his shadow for decades. It is simultaneously intimate and scholarly. Musson knows things about Alexander’s life which will surprise the reader. How did she come to learn this, a reader might ask. But this intimacy also generates the substance for understanding the deeply important intellectual and political contribution Alexander made to South African and global thinking about issues such as ‘race’, language, and political struggle.

Doreen Musson’s vivid biography brings Neville fully alive, from his childhood in the Eastern Cape, through his intellectual and political blossoming in the turbulent resistance politics of Cape Town and the beginnings of the new left in Germany, to the great tests of his mature years.
