'''Frank Talk''' was a political journal founded in 1984 in [[South Africa]], and arising out of the student-led [[internal resistance to South African apartheid|anti-apartheid]] movement of the 1970s and 80s. Originally the pseudonym under which [[Steve Biko]] wrote several articles as the Publications Director of the [[South African Students' Organisation]] (SASO), Frank Talk became the title of the journal published by the [[Azanian People's Organisation]] (AZAPO), a nationalist group committed to Biko's ideas of [[Black Consciousness Movement|Black Consciousness]].

Biko's prolific SASO writings were published in early volumes of Frank Talk, and throughout its history the journal remained committed to the Black Consciousness ideology responsible for mobilizing student-led anti-apartheid resistance. Exploring the theory of [[Black Consciousness]] and related issues of [[race (classification of human beings)|race]] and [[racism]], [[theology]], culture and revolution, Frank Talk became a platform for rigorous political analysis of the frustrations and problems of black students and black people generally. Available in both [[Afrikaans]] and English, several issues of the journal were banned for distribution by [[South Africa under apartheid|South Africa's apartheid government]]. The last issue of Frank Talk was published in 1990.
