The general social life is described here with great warmth, humour and heart. With all due respect to Richard Rive, Alex La Guma and the other professionals, this book - the first such detailed recreation of Black life in District Six in autobiographical form I’ve come across - exudes an honesty that rekindles the memories of old District Sixers, and hopefully also strikes a chord in the hearts of readers who never knew the place. '</span><span lang="en-US" style="font-style: italic; language: en-US; mso-ansi-language: en-US;">Sala Kahle District Six' </span><span lang="en-US" style="language: en-US; mso-ansi-language: en-US;">is free of posturing. It has great documentary value. The fact that it is the memoir of an African woman adds to its already considerable interest.</span></span><br />

They left bundles of petitions containing more than 100 000 signatures at Prime Minister J.G Strijdom’s office doors. Outside they stood silently for 30 minutes, many with children on their backs. Those who worked for whites as nannies were carrying their white charges with them. The women sang a protest song that was composed in honour of the occasion: Wathint’Abafazi Wathint’imbokodo (Now you have touched the women, you have struck a Rock.) “you strike a woman you strike a rock” has come to represent women’s courage and strength in <country -region="-region" w:st="on"><place w:st="on">South Africa</place></country>.

From the current intense interest in rock paintings across the globe, images that have survived the millennia from a stone age past continue to move minds. It has become clear that the insights offered to Bleek and his sister-in-law Lucy Lloyd by their/Xam informants have transformed the analysis of painted images from speculation to understanding. Through the dissemination of the written and painted archives, the stories, images and sounds of the /Xam are gradually finding their way back into the minds of Cederberg people.</span></span></span><br />

<span lang="en-US" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; language: en-US; line-height: 114%; mso-ansi-language: en-US;">Abuse of human rights is rampant in many areas in the world in spite of the fact that on 11 December 1946 the United Nations adopted a Convention entitled ‘The Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide’. This was followed on 10 December 1948 by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This Declaration stated that “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights…Everyone is entitled to these rights without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language or religion. Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person. The Nazi regime in Germany and the South African apartheid system are both notorious violations of Human Rights and are frequently compared to each other, more especially in South Africa itself. But are they indeed comparable? This book sets out to provide an objective and detailed analysis of this sensitive question. It begins by looking at the discriminatory legal framework in Nazi Germany and South Africa and continues with a systematic comparison of human rights abuses, social controls, restriction of living areas and disparities in employment. </span><span lang="en-US" style="language: en-US; mso-ansi-language: en-US;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Set in Cape Town, 'A Series of Undesirable Events' weaves together six stories of close friends, each dealing with an unfortunate event. The author presents what may have been one story in fragments that each tackles, social challenges such as infidelity, violence, HIV/AIDS and sexuality. There's also a strong focus on the complexities of dreams and aspirations; on just how insincere some dreams and aspirations tend to be. Moshe, the protagonist is in at least three stories, gives us glimpses of the disadvantages experienced by an individual who does not intimately know his dreams. The result of such negligence ultimately breeds an internal conflict that only Moshe can address. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Like facial make-up that gets applied and removed later, this book reflects application of "make-up" on many levels of the society including attitudes. But the truth always comes out in the end.</span><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Verdana;">A Series of Undesirable Events was written using a Sony Ericsson K800i cell phone, in a successive creation of MMS texts. These texts were created wherever the inspiration to write the manuscript emerged. In fact, the ideas for the opening story, An Old Flame That Went Out, were written by the author upon waking up from a dream. This illustrates the versatility of modern technology despite not being designed to fulfil certain roles; in this case writing a book.</span></em><br />

<span lang="en-US" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; language: en-US; mso-ansi-language: en-US;">Noor has many stories to tell. His stories are not just about his life, they describe a way of life. He shares with us unique, never to be repeated experiences. We are told about his family, school days, life as a teenager, working at Reader’s Digest, New Year’s Eve, the Coon Carnival, Ramadaan, Babbie shops, favourite movies and cafes, who sang at the public washbaths, the burglary at Banks, the talented Abed Brothers, dancer Johaar Mosaval, Sandra MacGregor the artist, and lots more. Life in District Six combined all the elements of the human spirit. Noor tells us about love, friendship, humour and harmony, as well as hardship and suffering. In this charming book, Noor has captured, through his stories, the warmth of family and community that is the essence of Noor himself.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mitchells's Plain: A Place in the Sun is not a factual account of the history of Mitchell's Plain, nor does it attempt to stick to a timeline via which historians can trace the history of a people. It's a narrative account of the lives of 24 people who experience living in Mitchell's Plain at different stages of their lives. Through their eyes the history of a place that was the dumping ground of the so-called Coloured people takes shape as a place that produced ordinary people living extraordinary lives. It is honest, raw, sometimes inaccurate, but always truthful. It turns the spotlight on a place and a people sometimes forgotten by history. Theirs are the real stories of Mitchell's Plain.</span><br />

<span lang="en-US" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; language: en-US; mso-ansi-language: en-US;">This is the autobiography of Eddie Daniels who was born in District Six in 1928. Because of his opposition to apartheid as a member of the Liberal Party of South Africa and the African Resistance Movement he was banned, detained, imprisoned and banned again. Facing a possible death penalty he refused to be a witness for the state or give undertakings to two supreme court judges who were prepared to negotiate with the National government for his release from prison.</span></div>

Three years and eight months after his release from prison, after the lifting of his banning orders, he and Eleanor married in defiance of the Immorality and Mixed Marriages Acts. After those cruel laws were expunged from the legal statute books, they remarried and today live in Somerset West, near Cape Town.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">From the cradle of mankind comes a kaleidoscope of a book refracting Africa in its myriad facets and hues: the dizzying glare of the hot African sun, the blue haze of the mountains on the horizon, the merciful respite offered by water and foliage, the stratagems and wiles of the creatures, both animal and human, who people this harsh continent, and their bounteous humanity, great hearts and ever-ready laughter. Here are to be found tales as old as Africa itself, told around the evening fires since time immemorial. Tales from the heritage of the San and the Khoi, original hunter-gatherers and first pastoralists, down to the imaginings of those who came from the sea in great ships with billowing sails.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span lang="en-US" style="language: en-US; line-height: 114%; mso-ansi-language: en-US;">13 South Africans tell their story. The tales of people you will find between these pages are exemplary, illuminating the many hues of estrangement and adaptation, ultimately of survival. It is remarkable and admirable that the story should have been written by a Swiss citizen, from a country which is by definition perhaps the last prone to exile! </span><span lang="en-US" style="color: black; language: en-US; line-height: 114%; mso-ansi-language: en-US; mso-bidi-language: ar-SA;">Exile, as J.M. le Clezio famously remarked, is to be leaving your island of “belonging” for the continental shores of facelessness. It may lead to a living death where the hands of the clock will be pointing forever at the hour of departure from your native soil; it may take you to a land where memory will be used as soap to wash your compulsively dirty hands; it may embalm you in the sickly treacle of self-pity…Or it may be a treat, an escape, a wonderful delivery from the narrow- mindedness of “home”, a chance to become fully human, the way towards confrontation with that unknown which will enrich and sharpen your mind. </span><span lang="en-US" style="language: en-US; mso-ansi-language: en-US;"></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma;">This documentary traces the last days of the Hendricks family in District Six before their forced removal from their family home in the late 1970s. Narrated by the mother of the family, Latiefa Hendricks, this film provides a sensitive portrayal of the anxiety, heartache and dislocation experienced by this family as a result of the South African government’s Group Areas Act. The Hendricks family was one of the last families to leave District Six and fought a twenty year battle to remain in their family home. Set against the scarred landscape of the bulldozed District, <i>Last Supper in Horstley Street</i> documents the family's last days in their home and the anxiety and pain of their forced removal. The documentary then focuses on the family’s life in the barren new township of Belhar, where the lack of social services and community life, has created new social problems such as crime. The grief and sense of rupture experienced by the Hendricks family echoes the experience of millions of South African families who have been torn from their homes and communities as a result of the Group Areas Act.</span><span style="color: #333399; font-family: Tahoma;"> </span></span></span></h1>

<span style="color: #e69138; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is a day violently etched on the South African collective conscience. commemorated over 30 years later as Youth Day, an official holiday, it is the day that honours the deaths of hundreds of schoolchildren from numerous Sowetan schools who protested in the streets in response to the introduction of Afrikaans as the medium of instruction in local schools. An estimated 20 000 students took part in the protests and roughly 276 people were killed.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Every child needs to know this one thing - if you can dream it, you can do it!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">DREAMWALKING is a light, lyrical telling of a story that is inspired by the many great dreamers of South Africa - from Mark Shuttleworth who dreamt of being the first African in space to Miriam Makeba; from Oscar Pistorius to Nelson Mandela. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">In the gentle, rhyming text Bettina Schouw encourages young readers to never allow anything to diminish their dreams while Adam Carnegie's vibrant, detailed artwork provides an opportunity for them to explore what dreaming can do!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">DREAMWALKING is a gift to children of all ages, which will ignite in them the flame of desire they need to follow their dreams.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Recognized as one of Time Magazine's 'icons of the 20th century', as a symbol of a new generation of political activists. Far more than a guerrilla strategist. Che Guevara made a profound and lasting contribution to revolutionary theory and Marxist humanism as demonstrated in this best selling Reader.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;"><strong>The Che Guevara Reader includes four sections;</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">- The Cuban revolutionary war (1956-59)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">- The years in government (1959-65)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">- Guevara's views on the major international struggles of the 1960's </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">- A new selection of letters</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">This is the most authorative collection to date of Che's work, published in association with the Che Guevara Studies Centre, Havana and Ocean Press, and is an unprecedented source of primary material on Cuba and Latin America.</span><br />

Diana co-edited and published a collection of stories about fathers and daughters, "Slaan vir my 'n masker, Vader" (Save a mask for me father) 1996. The mission of her publishing company is to publish writers from previously disadvantaged communities. Her company in association with the University of the Western Cape has published life stories of three former activists and unionists namely, Liz "Nana" Abrahams, Zollie Malindi and Archie Sibeko.

<strong><span style="font-family: Verdana;">However, Diana Ferrus is internationally known and acclaimed for the poem that she wrote for the indigenous South African woman Sarah Bartmann who was taken away from her country under false pretences and paraded as a sexual freak in Europe.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Diana's work has had and still has a bearing and influence on matters of race, gender, class and reconciliation. She believes in her country's future and works tirelessly for her people's emancipation from racial, sexual and class exploitation and for reconciliation.</span></strong><br />
