Retail Worker Politics, Race and Consumption in South Africa: Shelved in the Service Economy
strating how he was also a man of the people. His desire to share his experiences and provide a good role model to younger men suffuses the text. Jeptha tells a story of pugilistic triumph, of injury, of humility, and of friendship. He responds to the loss of sight in 1907 by turning ‘to text as the form with a reach beyond his fists’ (63–64). He shows that a boxer can be a writer and a philosopher and challenges simplistic ideas that reduce the boxer to the enacter of violent masculinity. Jeptha embraced endurance as a ‘modality of the self’ and this enabled him to survive the ‘apartheid logic of engendering self-hatred’ (20). Campbell has written a complex and fascinating book. It is not an easy read because his carefully developed argument engages, at least for this reviewer, a wide range of unfamiliar traditions, abstractions, and semiotic interrogations. His willingness to make a bold argument and revisit a rare historical text, however, will interest historians and scholars of the subaltern, leisure, and sport studies.

Over the past 40 years, the South African Historical Journal has become renowned and internationally regarded as a premier history journal published in South Africa, promoting significant historical scholarship on the country as well as the southern African region. The journal, which is linked to the Southern African Historical Society, has provided a high-quality medium for original thinking about South African history and has thus shaped - and continues to contribute towards defining - the historiography of the region.
