In 1984, Emerson Grossmith set on a journey to South Africa, expecting adventure but finding a world unlike anything he had imagined. As a white outsider in an apartheid state, he had to navigate a landscape of deep racial divides, political unrest and moral dilemmas.
After falling in love with a woman, Emerson was caught between two worlds — one of privilege, the other of struggle and resistance. His encounters with locals forced him to reconsider his own beliefs and pushed him to question whether he can remain in a country where oppression is the law of the land.
From the streets of Johannesburg to the Frontline States of Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Tanzania, Emerson Grossmith's LOVE, APARTHEID AND OTHER TALES FROM AFRICA is a deeply personal, raw account of love, identity and adventure.
