Belinda Bozzoli follows and records their lives: as domestic workers in the city, their building of strong family life in townships, where they brew beer illicitly to support their families, and finally we see them return to Phokeng, to survive on meagre pensions. Bozzoli’s intention in conducting the study was to examine the broad processes and events that shaped the experiences of these woman as black South Africans; to explore the specific ways in which their gender effected their lives and, most importantly, to study the forms of consciousness they express in their own interpretations of their histories. A fascinating and insightful academic study.   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.

Author: Marie Ndiaye Publisher: Maclehouse Press () ISBN-10: ISBN-13: Condition: Very Good Binding: Softcover Pages: 288 Dimensions: 23.2 x 15.2 x 2.2 cm +++ by Marie Ndiaye +++ Forty-year-old Norah leaves Paris, her family and her career as a lawyer to visit her father in Dakar. It is an uncomfortable reunion - she is asked to use her skills as a lawyer to get her brother out of prison - and ultimately the trip endangers her marriage and her relationship with her own daughter, and drives her to the very edge of madness. Fanta, on the other hand, leaves Dakar to follow her husband Rudy to rural France. And it is through Rudy's bitter and guilt-ridden perspective that we see Fanta stagnate with boredom in this alien, narrow environment. Khady is forced into exile from Senegal because of poverty, because her husband is dead, because she is lonely and in despair. With other illegal immigrants, she embarks on a journey which takes her nowhere, but from which she will never return.    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.
