Reviews
"A profound commentary on South Africa's twenty years of democracy." -- The Sunday Times (South Africa) "By forcefully interrogating the problematic notion of the Rainbow Nation, and by daring to address the broken promise of an ANC in dire need of strong leadership, Memoirs of a Born Free is a must read--a book that reveals just how inadequate political freedom without socio-economic freedom truly is." -- Independent Online (South Africa), "A profound commentary on South Africa's twenty years of democracy." -- The Sunday Times (South Africa) "By forcefully interrogating the problematic notion of the Rainbow Nation, and by daring to address the broken promise of an ANC in dire need of strong leadership, Memoirs of a Born Free is a must read--a book that reveals just how inadequate political freedom without socio-economic freedom truly is." -- Independent Online (South Africa) "In a South Africa that had already declared itself to be post-apartheid, the image of racial integration and progress put forward by the current government is torn apart by the current generation. Living within structures still ravaged by institutional disparity, the image of the 'rainbow nation' is belied by the lived experienced dutifully expounded in this first long-form work by an activist voice of contemporary change for black consciousness." - World Literature Today

Synopsis
Apartheid isn't over--so Malaika Wa Azania boldly argues in Memoirs of a Born Free , her account of growing up black in modern-day South Africa. Malaika was born in late 1991, as the white minority government was on its way out, making her a "Born Free"--the name given to the generation born after the end of apartheid. But Malaika's experience with institutionalized racism offers a view of South Africa that contradicts the implied racial liberation of the so-called Rainbow Nation. Recounting her upbringing in a black township racked by poverty and disease, the death of a beloved uncle at the hands of white police, and her alienation at multiracial schools, she evokes a country still held in thrall by de facto apartheid. She takes us through her anger and disillusionment with the myth of black liberation to the birth and development of her dedication to the black consciousness movement, which continues to be a guiding force in her life. A trenchant, audacious, and ultimately hopeful narrative, Memoirs of a Born Free introduces an important new voice in South African--and, indeed, global--activism., Apartheid isn't over--so Malaika Wa Azania boldly argues in Memoirs of a Born Free, her account of growing up black in modern-day South Africa. Malaika was born on October 19, 1991, as the white minority government was on its way out, making her a "Born Free"--the name given to the generation born after the end of apartheid. But Malaika has experienced firsthand what she calls "institutionalized racism," apartheid's legacy in the so-called Rainbow Nation. Recounting her upbringing in a black township racked by poverty and disease, the death of a beloved uncle at the hands of white police, and her alienation at multiracial schools, she evokes a country still held in thrall by de facto apartheid. She takes us through her anger and disillusionment with the myth of black liberation to the birth and development of her dedication to the black consciousness movement, which continues to be a guiding force in her life. A trenchant, audacious, and ultimately hopeful narrative, Memoirs of a Born Free introduces an important new voice in South African--and, indeed, global--activism.

Very disappointed in this transaction. Will not order from this company again. A week went by and no shipping information. Texted to cancel because we had to buy another. Next day get a shipping tracking number and they said "Sorry" item has been shipped! Well, it hadn't been when I asked to cancel. Then! they said I had to pay for return shipping if I refuse the item. Watch out for this company!
