  • Another Country R160.00

    When Another Country appeared in 1962 it caused a literary sensation: among the storm of reviews the Sunday Times said: ‘let our novelists read Mr Baldwin and tremble. There is a whirlwind loose in the Land.’
    This masterly story of desire, hatred and violence opens with the unforgettable character of Rufus Scott, a scavenging Harlem Jazz musician adrift in New York. Self destructive, bad and brilliant, he draws us into a bohemian underworld pulsing with heat, music and sex, where desperate and dangerous characters betray, love and test each other to the limit.

  • Arrow of God R160.00

    Ezeulu, headstrong chief priest of the god Ulu, is worshipped by the six villages of Umuaro. But he is beginning to find his authority increasingly under threat – from his rivals in the tribe, from those in the white government and even from his own family. Yet he still feels he must be untouchable – surely he is an arrow in the bow of his God? Armed with this belief, he is prepared to lead his people, even if it means destruction and annihilation. Yet the people will not be so easily dominated. Spare and powerful, Arrow of God is an unforgettable portrayal of the loss of faith, and the struggle between tradition and change. Continuing the epic saga of the community in Things Fall Apart, it is the second volume of Achebe’s African trilogy, and is followed by No Longer at Ease.

    Becoming Men: Black masculinities in a South African township R280.00

    Becoming Men is the story of 32 boys from Alexandra, one of Johannesburg’s largest townships, over a period of twelve seminal years in which they negotiate manhood and masculinity. Psychologist and academic Malose Langa documents in close detail what it means to be a young black man in contemporary South Africa. The boys discuss a range of topics including the impact of absent fathers, relationships with mothers, siblings and girls, school violence, academic performance, homophobia, gangsterism, unemployment and, in one case, prison life. Deep ambivalence, self-doubt and hesitation emerge in their approach to alternative masculinities premised on non-violent, non-sexist and non-risk-taking behaviour. Many of the boys appear simultaneously to comply with and oppose the prevalent norms, thereby exposing the difficulties of negotiating the multiple voices of masculinity. Providing a rich interpretation of how emotional processes affect black adolescent males, Langa suggests interventions and services to support and assist them, especially in reducing high-risk behaviours generally associated with hegemonic masculinity. This is essential reading for students, researchers and scholars of gender studies who wish to understand manhood and masculinity in South Africa. Psychologists, youth workers, lay counsellors and teachers who work with adolescent boys will also find it invaluable. Understanding of new developments in publishing industry (Involves research and strategic thinking skills)

  • Black Diamond R150.00

    Kristin Uys is a tough Roodepoort magistrate who lives alone with her cat. She is on a one woman crusade to wipe out prostitution in the town for reasons that have personal significance for her. Although she is unable to convict the Visagie brothers, Stevovo and Shortie, on charges of running a brothel, she manages to nail Stevovo for contempt of court and gives him a summary six month sentence.
    From Diepkloof prison, the outraged Stevovo orchestrates his revenge against the magistrate, aided and alerted by hiss rather inept brother Shortie and erstwhile nanny, Aunt Magda, who believes mass action will force the powers that be to release Stevovo.
    Kristin receives menacing phone calls and her home is invaded and vandalized. Even her cat is threatened. The chief magistrate insists on assigning a bodyguard to protect her. ‘To Kristi’s consternation, security guard Don Mateza moves into her home and trails her everywhere. Nor does this suit Don’s long time girlfriend Tumi, former model and successful businesswoman, who is intent on turning Don into a Black Diamond sooner rather than later, And Don soon finds that his new assignment has unexpected complications which Tumi simply does not understand.
    In Black Diamond, Zakes Mda tackles every South African stereotype, skillfully (and with the lightest touch) turning them to upside down and expecting their ironies, often hilariously. This is a clever, quickly novel that captures the essence of contemporary life in Gauteng and will resonate with all South africans.

  • Black Widow Society R150.00

    In 1994 when South Africans were finally seeing the light of freedom and independence, three well-respected businesswomen – Talullah Ntuli, Edna Whithead and Nkosazana Dlamini – formed the Black Widow Society.
    In 1994 when South Africans were finally seeing the light of freedom and independence, three well-respected businesswomen – Talullah Ntuli, Edna Whithead and Nkosazana Dlamini – formed the Black Widow Society, a secret organisation aimed at liberating women trapped in emotionally and physically abusive relationships by assisting in ‘eliminating’ their errant husbands. For fifteen years the Black Widow Society operated undetected, impeccably run by The Triumvirate with the help of their suave and mysterious hired gun, Mzwakhe Khuzwayo, a slick ex-convict meticulous in his responsibilities. But as the secret organisation recruits more members, the wheels of this well-oiled machine threaten to fall off. Will Talullah’s controlling streak or Nkosazana’s unfettered material aspirations jeopardise the future of the Black Widow Society? Or perhaps one of the new recruits, unsettled by the reality of the elimination of her former husband, will lose her nerve and expose the workings of the group after all this time? As the tension mounts, Black Widow Society builds to a chilling and bloody climax that will keep you guessing and riveted until the very last page.
