Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. First Printing. 359 Pages. A tight straight book with a light crease in the front cover. Otherwise a book with flawless text pages. This novel is based on the life story of a black woman living in South Africa. Only her name Poppie Rachel Nongena is invented. The book is the story of a humb…le black woman who under the burden of South Africa's laws never gives up. The heroic nature of Poppie Nongena and the skill of the author make it an epic. No book like it has ever been written before. The most hated laws in South Africa are known as the pass laws that were enacted to control the movement of African people. When the Afrikaners and the British conquered the whole of the country, they set aside land for the conquered people. These were lands now known as Homelands but in fact they are not homelands at all. They are 13% of the land area and are set aside for 70% of the population. Even though many of these people live now in the white cities, the Homelands are overcrowded, and in many parts eroded and barren. Many of their men are away in the cities of Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, Durban, Johannesburg, Pretoria, the places where black men can sell their labour. They are South Africa's migrant labourers, and they can be sent back to the Homelands any time it suits the authorities. The fact is the man's labour is wanted in the industries of the cities, but his wife and children are not. They are left behind in the Homelands and only have money if their husband and father is faithful. Sometimes because the man and his wife and children long for one another the wife breaks the law and goes to visit the husband in the city. This is the story of Poppie Nongena when she marries a migrant worker her whole life changes. In 1976 the black children rise up in rebellion and burn schools and stone cars and this story is told in the chapter titled the Revolt of the Children. The book is the story of a very courageous woman and her struggle to live under the cruelty of the law.
