Inside Soweto: Memoir of an Official 1960s-1980s - Boris Gorelik - Bog

'A very interesting commentary on the situation'
Bowen Northrup, editor, The Wall Street Journal

A memoir of a white official in South Africa's largest black 'city' in the aftermath of the 1976 uprising, Grinker's Inside Soweto is a revelation.

A view from within the 'system', too radical for the conservatives and too conservative for the radicals, Inside Soweto came out in 1986, only to be rapidly sold out - and conveniently forgotten.

This new, revised edition features an epilogue written by Grinker in 2014. It also contains rare photos from the author's collection.
