Coloured as an ethnicity and racial demographic is intertwined in the creation of the South Africa we have today. Yet often,
Coloured communities are disdained as people with no clear
heritage or culture — ‘not being black enough or white enough.’
Coloured challenges this notion and presents a different angle to
that narrative.
It delves into the history of Coloured people as descendants of
indigenous Africans and a people whose identity was shaped by
colonisation, slavery, and the racial political hierarchy it created.
Although rooted in a difficult history, this book is also about the
culture that Coloured communities have created for themselves
through food, music, and shared lived experiences in communities
such as Eldorado Park, Eersterus, and Wentworth. Coloured
culture is an act of defiance and resilience.
Coloured is a reflection on, and celebration of Coloured identities
as lived experiences. It is a call to Coloured communities to
reclaim their identity and an invitation to understand the history
and place of Coloured people in the making of South Africa’s
future
