About This Item
(Cape Town: Melinda Ferguson Books, 2022) 9781990973420. 234 x 152 mm; printed wrappers; pp. 244; plates. Very good condition. "Too White to be Coloured, Too Coloured to be Black is a dazzling hybrid of memoir, commentary, first-hand observation and analysis, encapsulating defining moments of contemporary South African history and society. As a photographer, journalist, academic and columnist, the author forces a conversation between the present and the past of a country wracked by racial injustice. In exposing details of his own life - how the personal is interwoven with the public, and how the past cannot be separated from the present - Lagardien provides a taut indictment of South Africa's politics of race and recrimination." .
