CRAPANZANO, Vincent - Waiting : The Whites of South Africa - (Excellent Hardcover in Wrapper)

Book and wrapper still in great condition. >>>   Before reading this book, one has to understand two things:    a) that it is written by an American academic. His conclusions seem based more on perception than on experience; and   b) the book was released in 1985 and probably researched and written two or three years earlier, at the height of Apartheid.   The interviewees are, for the most part, the underbelly of the society -the kind of white people who gave South Africans a dumb reputation; others are insightful. None of them could have foreseen that 10 years later there would be a Black President.   The book is of historical interest more than historical value.

*N.B.*  If you buy more than one book from me you only pay R 6 postage on each additional book - see what else I have to offer, it might be worth your while.
