Description for Apartheid on a Black Isle: Removal and Resistance in Alexandra, South Africa
Hardcover.
In this single square mile hemmed in by White areas, residents engaged in what is arguably the most multi-faceted, inventive, and versatile strategy of resistance during the 1970s. Apartheid on a Black Isle brings to the fore the definitive but underappreciated role that Alexandra played in advancing human rights.

This book explores and introduces ordinary Alexandrans whose narratives challenged preconceived notions of resistance, identity, gender and space. ... Read more
