Subtitle: When Politics Is Not Enough Author: Dumani Mandela and Warren Goldstein With Author's Inscription - Rabbi Goldstein is the current Chief Rabbi of South Africa Publisher: Jacana () Edition: First Edition ISBN-10: ISBN-13: Condition: Very Good Binding: Softcover Pages: 244 Dimensions: 21.1 x 14.7 x 1.4 cm +++ by Dumani Mandela and Warren Goldstein +++ African Soul Talk: When Politics Is Not Enough came about as a result of e-mail conversations between Dumani Mandela and Rabbi Warren Goldstein. This unlikely duo debates what it means to be South African and to live with dignity and integrity in a country filled with contradictions. Their upbeat discussions and often conflicting opinions result in spirited exchanges about politics, culture, religion and nation building. This is a unique dialogue between two South Africans from very different walks of life, and reflects the hope and optimism that they hold for the future of all South Africans.   A passion for books and a passion for collecting fine editions was the recipe that created the successful group of bookshops in Johannesburg called Bookdealers.

It is and high in the mountains of South Africa a group of slavesstand accused of the murder of their owner, Nicolass van der Merwe, a wealthy Afrikaner farmer. Galant, the van der Merwe family's chief hand, is held leader of the murderous band. Raised with the two sonsof the house, it was not until adulthood and rivalry over Hester, orphaned daughter of a tenant farmer, that he realised their differentroles, their unequal futures and opposed stations in life. A CHAIN OFVOICES stands as a prophetic lesson - when hopes of freedom from slavery are dashed, and when promises of equal treatment are broken, an escalating spiral of bitterness, resentment, and finally, explosive violence is inevitable.

Condition: Good. Maya Angelou's seven volumes of autobiography are a testament to the talents and resilience of this extraordinary writer. Loving the world, she also knows its cruelty. As a black woman she has known discrimination and extreme poverty, but also hope, joy, achievement and celebration. The fourth volume of her enthralling autobiography finds Maya Angelou immersed in the world of black writers and artists in Harlem, working in the civil rights movement with Martin Luther King. Maya Angelou has... achieved a kind of literary breakthrough which few writers of any time, place, or race achieve.... What makes [her] writing unique is... a melding of unconcerned honesty, consummate craft, and perfect descriptive pitch, yielding a rare compound of great emotional force and authenticity. -The Washington Post Book World To say that Angelou is a living legend is in no way an exaggeration. [She is] one of the great voices of contemporary literature. -The Voice Angelou is one of the geniuses of the Afro-American serial autobiography. -The New York Times About the author () Maya Angelou - Maya Angelou was born Marguerite Johnson on April in Saint Louis, Missouri.
