At the end of a steep gravel road in one of the remotest corners of South Africa's Eastern Cape lies the village of Ithanga. Home to a few hundred villagers, the majority of them unemployed, it is inconceivably poor. It is to here that award-winning author Jonny Steinberg travels to explore the lives of a community caught up in a battle to survive the ravages of the greatest plague of our times, the African AIDS epidemic. He befriends Sizwe, a young local man who refuses to be tested for AIDS despite the existence of a well-run testing programme. It is Sizwe's deep ambivalence, rooted in his sense of the cultural divide, that becomes the key to understanding the dynamics that thread their way through a terrified community.
Soft cover, fairly good condition. The cover shows minor signs of wear. Slight foxing.
