174pp. Laminated printed light card covers. Previous owner's name label on half-title page. Internally neat, clean, bright and tight. 8vo. 'A unique document from a member of a group whose voice is almost never heard - Africa's most unprivileged majority'. A compelling and unique autobiography by an African woman with little formal education, less privilege, and almost no experience of books or writing. Mpho's voice is a voice almost never heard in literature or history, a voice from within the struggle of "ordinary" African women to negotiate a world which incorporates ancient pastoral ways and the congestion, brutality, and racist violence of city life.
