FREEDOM RISING
The book records apartheid-era southern Africa from the ground up, following a long journey through a society in flux. Large political changes come into focus as the lived experience of the people encountered along the way.
Work Information

As a record of a journey spanning more than four years, it follows apartheid and the transition from Rhodesia to Zimbabwe. The changing society is rendered not as abstraction but as a sequence of lived tensions.
