Additional Information
The Rift: The Exile Experience of South Africans by Hilda Bernstein is a poignant record of the lives disrupted by apartheid. Bernstein, a journalist and political activist who herself experienced exile from South Africa, collected over 100 testimonies from others who were forced to leave their homeland due to the oppressive system. These testimonies reveal the pain of dislocation, the longing for home, and the constant watchfulness that comes with being in exile1. The book captures the effects of apartheid on personal lives and serves as an autobiography of a nation in exile.
