A change of tongue by Antjie Krog

Description

A Change of Tongue, is Antjie Krog's second work of prose in English, and recounts ten years of evolution after South Africa's first democratic elections. A post-modern blend of fiction, poetry, and reportage. It explores the surprising and predictable changes that South Africans have made since abandoning apartheid. Krog weaves strands of autobiography with the stories of others to document struggles for identity, truth and salvation. The title of the book has political and private meanings: the diminishing role of Afrikaans in public discourse is reflected in her own flight into English as the vernacular of her work. (Wikipedia)
