Description
Book SynopsisThis volume is a fascinating collection of pieces by South African journalist Nomavenda Mathiane. Unlike much that is written about South Africa, these pieces are very personal observations and reflections based on day-to-day experiences.
Trade ReviewA reader seeking fresher insights into the apartheid conundrum might wish to turn to... Nomavenda Mathiane's 'Diary of Troubled Times.' Mathiane is a black journalist, which...itself distinguishes 'Diary' from the vast majority of works about black South Africa. She doesn't have to resort to feats of the imagination to insert herself into the drama; she lives it. Her book is a vivid account of turbulent times in the townships, where life is intense, difficult and dangerous. * Newsday *
