Biskit en die Boomhuis deur...

Biskit woon saam met sy kwaai tannie Ursula in die stad. Maar sy beste plek is by sy geliefde oupa in ‘n boomhuis langs die meer. Oupa se vreemde manier van leef dryf sy tannie tot raserny. Sy probeer Biskit keer om by Oupa te kom.

Asof dit nie erg genoeg is nie, is daar nog die vreesaanjaende voëlman wat dalk beplan om Biskit in die pot te gooi. Kan Biskit en sy maatjie, Ama, vir eens en vir altyd van tannie Ursula ontslae raak?

Finding the Stranger - In...

In everyone of us is a stranger yearning to be found.

A child grows up in a small town on the Black Sea, which soon becomes her imaginary prison. Afraid of being suffocated by a society in which sexism and masochism are the norms, she dreams of flying to her freedom.

She dreads the life of an obedient Muslim woman, and particularly of losing her identity before she can find her freedom.

ORPHANED, WITH LIVING PARENTS

Many thousands of South African children are brought up by their grandmothers. This is one of the many manifestations of an unstable and distraught society, where the mother to child bond is too often broken, causing pain and a deep-seated sense of loss to both parties. Each Gogo-raised child’s story is different, but the general theme is the same: it deals with abandonment, with only qualified acceptance, but most of all with the simple absence of a real mother presence. The title of Vanessa Neo Mathope’s book – Orphaned, with Living Parents – tells it all. A monstrous imbalance has occurred, and the consequences run deep.

What I Wore Being Black and...

BEING BLACK AND BI-POLAR IN SOUTH AFRICA

‘My struggles with mental illness were in some ways like a child crying out for attention; more than that they were a cry for help from the mind I felt trapped in. There was a darkness in me that many times swallowed me whole.’

This is how Keamogetswe Bopalamo introduces her account of her troubled early life. It is an intensely personal account, and yet it speaks to a reality much broader than itself. In the exciting whirl of South Africa’s post-apartheid society, there is this darker side: the confusions, the fears, the rebellions, the degradations and emotional pain.
