Book Synopsis
I grew up with the ordinariness of the colonial order of things and the banality of apartheid in the spaces where other whites, like me, lived ... Unearthed demonstrates, through a weave of time and place - be it then or now, the Seychelles, Johannesburg or London - how the `ordinariness' of prejudice and violence persists. Raising memory from burden to force, this book pulls you in and takes you to an understanding of why it is important to speak.

Trade Review
`Yvette Gresle manages what many cannot - she reclaims memory without falling prey to sentimentality. Achingly spare, Unearthed is a haunting catalogue of remembrance, an unflinching and melancholic examination of racism and privilege.' Sisonke Msimang
