| 释义 |
The novel follows an unemployed protagonist, thematically exploring the opportunity for solidarity amongst the oppressed peoples in the apartheid regime, making the book a critique of apartheid South Africa.[2] Many critiques highlight the novels effective social history and social commentary: the novel represents economic conditions true to the Western Cape during the 60s, where housing shortages effected a number of displaced workers.[2][3] Other critics emphasize the strong imagery and writing that make the novel engaging.[6] La Guma wrote the novel while under arrest at Roeland Street,[4] writing between 1962 and 1963.[5] It was the only novel by La Guma not to appear in the highly influential African Writers Series published by Heinemann.[1] The first edition of the novel was published by Seven Seas Books in East Berlin.[1] The second edition was by Kliptown Books in 1988.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{Cite journal|last=Cornwell|first=Gareth|date=November 2002|title=And a Threefold Cord: La Guma’s neglected masterpiece?|url=http://literator.org.za/index.php/literator/article/viewFile/343/312|journal=Literator|volume=23|issue=2|pages=63-80|doi=|issn=0258-2279|pmid=|access-date=}} {{Alex La Guma}}{{1960s-SouthAfrica-novel-stub}}2. ^1 {{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ilryeEWyFnIC&pg=PA37|title=Apartheid Narratives|publisher=Rodopi|year=2001|isbn=90-420-1506-3|pages=37–60|chapter=On the Edge of Existence: Alex La Guma's And a Threefold Cord|author=Nahem Yousaf}} 3. ^{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=aRYR1tnmKpEC&pg=PA55|title=The Novels of Alex La Guma: The Representation of a Political Conflict|publisher=Lynne Rienner Publishers|year=1990|isbn=978-0-89410-558-6|pages=33–56|chapter=And a Threefold Cord: Interweaving Story and Social History|author=Kathleen M.
