It will be shown how Sobukwe’s thought contains important observations for the study of identity, culture, history, and society; all concepts that are also of great importance to the field of psychosocial studies. The specific psychosocial dimension of Sobukwe’s thought lies in an attention to the role of the historical imagination, what we can tentatively name a historical form of consciousness. This is a form of consciousness that stands in opposition to and looks beyond what is confined and prescribed as the current and its possibilities. The interrelationship between psychological and political liberation will be explored and expanded upon through a focus on the role that history plays in both. It will be shown how Sobukwe, together with other intellectuals and politicians associated with Pan-Africanism and African Nationalism, mobilised history as a theatre of struggle that tied together the realms of the psychological and the political in the quest for African liberation.

We do this by comparing the present to the past of philosophical teaching and practice. Our argument is that the marginalisation of African philosophy is correspondent to the elsewhere political and social reality of the marginalisation of the indigenous people conquered in the unjust wars of colonisation. This occurs most tangibly through the outstanding resolution of the restoration of sovereignty over the territory and title over it to the indigenous people.
