Die verhaal van Pieternella, dogter van die Deense sjirurgyn Pieter van Meerhoff en van die Hottentottin Krotoa-Eva, wat na Robbeneiland verban is. Teen hul sin word die veertienjarige Pieternella en haar jonger broer, Salomon, na voogouers op Mauritius gestuur - 'n ontstuimige seereis wat die aanloop is van baie ontberinge. Dié historiese roman gee 'n nuwe perspektief op die wrede vroeë geskiedenis van Robbeneiland, asook van die destydse strafkolonie Mauritius. Pieternella van die Kaap is die resultaat van drie jaar se intensiewe navorsing.
DOUGLAS FOSTER - After Mandela
A brutally honest expose, AFTER MANDELA is a sobering, but ultimately reassuring portrait of a country caught between its founding principles — antiracist, antisexist, nonhomophobic and egalitarian — and the stark realities the new nationfaced from the beginning. South Africa is the only place in the world where democracy arrived, in 1994, on the same day that globalization and the HIV pandemic walked in the door. Drawing on unprecedented access to President Jacob Zuma and members of the Mandela family, Foster presents the story not only from the vantage point of the emerging black elite, but also from the point of view of rural children and the young — who are ready to claim the liberation originally won in their name.
