About This Item
(Cape Town: Human Rights Media Centre, 2009) 9780620383745. 207 x 148 mm; laminated pictorial wrappers; pp. 254; photographs and portrait sketches. Very good condition. "This book challenges us. The storytellers are not just talking about those things society is comfortable with. They take us out of our comfort zones, into areas which we are all taught should not be spoken about. Telling one's story inevitably involves a process of pain and reflection. It takes courage to follow memory back, even into those corners of your mind which have not seen the light of day for decades. ... Many many people, men and women, working class and middle class, young and old, read this book and may it inspire courage in them to tell their own stories." .
