Batis Books is proud to mark the release of Inheritance by Athambile Masola, the isiXhosa-to-English translation of her award-winning, best-selling debut Ilifa.

Translated by the author, and accompanied by an essay on the politics and practicalities of translating these innovative, at-times daring poems, Inheritance is one of the very few contemporary poetry books to be translated into English from an African language this year, or indeed any year.

Inheritance is out now in the UK, Ireland and South Africa. British and Irish readers can buy directly from our website. South African readers can buy directly from us through Mzansi Books.
