He was a descendent of the architect of apartheid who was a journalist who covered crime. He eventually left SA for political reasons, but the book is about the murders of 6 different people (3 white, 3 black, I think - I read it long ago). I can't even explain how good this book is. He basically examines his "whiteness" in view of what these crimes mean about apartheid generally. I can't do this book justice, but I do recommend it. The Wire and Homicide remind me of this book.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11704771279208231366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486244714643027014.post-31461031828984055372008-02-27T10:56:00.000-08:002008-02-27T10:56:00.000-08:00Would you happen to know if there is any way to ge...<EM>Would you happen to know if there is any way to get ahold of these episodes?</EM><BR/><BR/>Sorry, SOSS...
