This unique interview book stems from the days when South Africa`s notorious Apartheid regime collapsed. It was written in January of 1988 and I present the talks as they were recorded then. It brought me straight into the heart of the cultural resistance while simultaenously revising anthropological research, too. I looked at the contribution the Arts could play in terminating racial segregation and asked respondents if they would use their creative activity in this regard rather than practicing Art-for-Arts-sake? The book includes a detailed bibliography, a comprehensive set of footnotes and a black and white photo of respondents.
