Many photos, the Black-controlled bank, the local writer/philospher/witch doctor, cheese and wine parties have become the 'in thing', suits are in... beads skins and gaily-patterned robes are a thing of the past, 'unlike Harlem... there are no high-rise apartment blocks in Soweto' and many more bon mots. ' From the collophon: In the United States of America this material is filed with the Department of Justice where the required registration statement, in terms of the Foreign Agents Registration Act of the Republic of South Africa Government Information Service... is available for inspection. This does not indicate approval of this material by the United States Government.'  ....none the less, a fascinating insight and partial pictorial record.   Colour of cover is more brown than the red indicated by the scan.   Shipping - medium letter.
