MOMENTUM sees writing in South Africa after Soweto '76 as being of two kinds: the artefact (novels, plays or poetry) and the manifesto (the artist's statement about the shaping power of events in this country on his or her work).

It combines writers' statements (from home and abroad) about their work with critical discussion of that work.
