Come Back Africa : Lionel Rogosin: A Man Possessed

Come back Africa reads like a suspense story as we are caught up in the author's obsession.

It takes us on a journey back in time to when the foundations of the apartheid state were being laid and gives us a wonderful sense of what life was like in 1950s Johannesburg - especially the much mythologised Sophiatown.

The author's insights and comments, as he tries to unravel and come to grips with the perplexing mess of racial intolerance, domination and bigotry that was South Africa, are revealing about the times but also about the author's own views and prejudices.
