South African Literature Collection
The South African Literature Collection at Western Michigan University was
donated by Edward Callan (WMU Distinguished Professor Emeritus, 1995). It includes
a well-rounded variety of materials in the subjects of political science, literature,
and history of South Africa.
Edward Callan was a bibliographer of Alan Paton, the South African author
of novels including Cry the Beloved Country and Apartheid and the Archbishop
. Some of the authors in this collection include Bishop Desmond Tutu, Nelson
and Winnie Mandela, Nadine Gordimer, Alan Paton, and Donald Woods.
The collection contains a nearly complete run of the Liberal party magazine: Reality (1969-1992),
as well as letters and photographs of Nadine Gordimer and Alan Paton.
