Description

In the tumultuous 1970s, Rian Malan, a descendant of apartheid's architects, found himself at the forefront of a different kind of struggle. As a crime reporter for a Johannesburg newspaper, he witnessed firsthand the devastating effects of apartheid's policies. Eight years later, he returned to South Africa to confront his own troubled past and the nation's dark history. With gripping stories and mesmerising prose, Malan's memoir is a powerful exploration of his country's racial hatred and his own tortured conscience. This is a story of personal struggle, of grappling with the complexities of identity and the legacy of a brutal regime. A new introduction by the author adds depth and context to this thought-provoking narrative, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in the complexities of South African history and the human cost of apartheid.
