Madison, Wisconsin, and the world have lost a great voice for peace and justice. Poet and activist Daniel Kunene died this past week at the age of 93. Kunene was a professor emeritus in the University of Wisconsin Department of African Languages and Literature for the past thirty-three years. He authored sixteen books in English and Sesotho (a southern Bantu language of his native South Africa), as well as countless articles, essays, and individual poems.
