"Powerful, intense, inspiring."-- "Publishers Weekly"

"Like . . . Claude Brown's "Manchild in the Promised Land" . . . in every way as important and exciting."-- "The Washington Post"

"This is a rare look inside the festering adobe shanties of Alexandra, one of South Africa's notorious black townships. Rare because it comes . . . from the heart of a passionate young African who grew up there."-- "Chicago Tribune"
