Summary

In this compelling autobiographical account, Richard Jurgens recounts with humor, honesty, and insight, his various experiences of the many different forms of exile: living abroad; ostracism; rejection; separation; and banishment. The author tells the story of his life as an ANC exile -- from his conscription into the South African Army, to ANC recruitment while studying philosophy at Wits University, to life in the ANC camps in Zambia, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe and finally to 8 years exile in Holland. Through his experienecs in the many houses of exile, Jurgens struggles to come to terms with the problems and truths of life and of Africa.
