Colors of a New Day: Writing for South Africa, edited by Sarah Lefanu and Stephen Hayward (used)

"We salute the writers – from Africa, Asia, the British Isles, North America and the Caribbean – who have contributed towards the creation of a new dawn in South Africa. Amandla!" – From the Foreword by Nelson Mandela

This unique anthology includes work by some of the finest writers in the English-speaking world today. A feat of incredible cooperation and generosity, Colours of a New Day represents a major international effort to show support for black South Africans in their struggle against apartheid.

To be published simultaneously in the United States, in the United Kingdom, and in South Africa, the book includes short stories and poems – most of which are published here for the first time – by a stellar group of authors. The authors have donated all royalties to the Dakawa Cultural Centre, which develops and runs cultural programs for the African National Congress.

Beautifully written, frequently moving, and sometimes funny, these stories and poems make this a collection to be savored and enjoyed, even as it celebrates the new hopes for freedom and democracy.

"I commend the editors and writers. If this fine collection of international writings really heralds a new day, then the struggle by the bold and brave for justice on every continent and in each generation has not been in vain." – Maya Angelou
