Soweto Inside Out - Edited by Adam Roberts & Joe Thloloe (Pengiun, 2004)
This book is a follow-up to "From Jo'burg to Jozi, stories about Africa's infamous city" but looking exclusively at the vibrant township of Soweto. The editors asked 47 writers and journalists, some local, some foreign, to write about their Soweto experiences, and the result is a lively look under the skin of the township. Not everyone loves the place, some hate it, but most - the late Aggrey Klaaste, Sam Nhlengethwa, Sandile Memela, Anthony Sampson, to list a few - love the place and although they've moved into the suburbs, are still regular visitors to Soweto, such is its pull.
