"Everyday Communists in South Africa's Liberation Struggle: The Lives of Ivan and Lesley Schermbrucker" by Alan Kirkaldy is a biography that explores the lives of Ivan and Lesley Schermbrucker, two Communist activists in twentieth-century Eastern Cape, South Africa. The book provides a detailed account of their careers as labor organizers and movement fund-raisers, highlighting their contributions to the struggle against apartheid. The author had full access to the family and incorporated a partial manuscript biography of Ivan by Lesley. The biography also delves into the broader political context of the time, including the role of the Communist Party and the African National Congress.
