Subtitle: Reflections on the Black Experience in the Twentieth Century Author: Peter Abrahams  Publisher: David Philip () ISBN-10: X ISBN-13: Condition: Very Good Binding: Softcover Pages: 409 Dimensions: 21.5 x 14 x 2.2 cm +++ by Peter Abrahams +++ The Coyaba Chronicles: Reflections on the Black Experience in the Twentieth Century is both personal memoir and a powerful meditation on what W.E.B. Dubois defined at the beginning of the century as "the problem of the colour line; of the relations between the lighter and darker races of man". Using Dubois as a point of departure, Abrahams writes passionately, about the inherent 'wrongness' of racial hatred and contemplates such timeless questions as: "Why was colour the most crucial issue of our century?" and "When will we get over the deep psychic and emotional damage done by the racial experience?".   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. The group started thirty years ago with one store in the quirky suburb of Yeoville and has grown through the years to a total of five shops, plus our online sales. Bookdealers is well-known for its collectable and used books. We also have a large variety of remaindered books sourced from around the world.  If you collect from one of our five branches there is no delivery charge. We also offer postal delivery (when available) and courier delivery, subject to a quote.
