The Literature Police by Peter D. McDonald.
“Indispensable reading if we wish to understand the forces forming and deforming literary production in South Africa during the apartheid years.” – JM Coetzee
On the website is the Database: The most complete record to date of decisions the censors made about works that can be identified as belonging to the corpus of South African literature published during the apartheid era, though it also includes some arguably non-literary titles by leading political figures (e.g. essays by Nelson Mandela and Steve Biko). It gives details relating to just over 450 decisions, some of which were reviewed, and is searchable by, among others, author, publisher, date and outcome. It is worth noting that it covers books only. It does not include decisions relating to literary magazines.
