South Africa is a place of wonder, intrigue and glorious color. In search of the soul of a newly awakening land, Gerald Hoberman has photographed an ancient sacrifical ceremony of the Xhosa, captured the lifestyle of Bushmen living close to the land, and shared mampoer, a homemade brew, with farmers in the Groot Marica district. With South Africa, Gerald Hoberman has captured a beautiful country and its people in a time of excitement and transformation, while retaining an eye for that which does not change; old places and ancient customs upon which time seems to have no grasp. This splendid volume is a must for all those with an interest in this remarkable country on the southern tip of Africa.
In a unique cultural statement, Kaapse Klopse features the colourful and lively Cape Town Minstrel Carnival, held for the first three days of the New Year. The music and dance style of the 'Kaapse Klopse' (Cape Minstrels) was influenced by the North American minstrel troupes that visited the Cape in the late 1880s. Traditionally, the colourful and lively minstrels cavort through the city, singing and dancing to the sound of banjos, tubas, guitars, ghoema drums and whistles. The book features extraordinary contemporary photographs of this event by Gerald Hoberman, with an historical overview as well as unique photographs of District Six and Bo-Kaap, taken by him in 1969. The entertaining and insightful traditional minstrel songs are published with English translations for the first time - a valuable contribution to the cultural history of the Cape.
