Description
Book SynopsisThe author was twenty-six and living in a single room occupancy hotel in Atlanta when he discovered that three little girls in an old photo he'd seen years earlier were actually his sisters. This title is also a detective story - of one man's search for the truth behind the enigmas of his, and his mother's, lives.
Trade Review"David Houze is a persistent and brave explorer. Twilight People investigates the darkest heart of racism in America and South Africa, and is as painful as it is deeply revealing about the complexities of racial identity on two continents." - Neil Henry, author of Pearl's Secret: A Black Man's Search for His White Family "In this up-close-and-personal account of the parallel struggles for racial justice in Mississippi and South Africa, David Houze weaves a fascinating tale that has nowhere been told. The book is remarkable for its capacity to chronicle the larger history of three critical decades of the 20th century resistance and mobilization, while skillfully deploying the author's own personal story to illuminate the human texture of apartheid in two nations." - Troy Duster, author of Backdoor to Eugenics"
