About This Item
(Johannesburg: Picador Africa, 2004) 0958470855. 233 x 152 mm; laminated pictorial wrappers; pp. xiv + 181. Earlier owner's bookplate to half-title; light browning. Very good condition. "A decade after the fall of apartheid, South Africa is attempting to rebuild itself as a safe, just and democratic society. But an exponential rise in property theft threatens to derail that future. In People who have stolen from me, journalist David Cohen looks at his native country through the microcosm of Jules Street, at once the longest straight street in Johannesburg and a rambunctious thoroughfare on which crooked men thrive. ... People who have stolen from me is the dramatic but true story of life at the sharp end in a country at the crossroads. It is also a hilarious tale about conscience, betrayal and trust." .
