It’s the Debt You Owe: Debt, Colonialism and Resistance
Peckham Levels, London
IN 2013, while in Johannesburg during the London Recruits book launch in South Africa, I had the amazing experience of visiting a pop-up cultural event in a city centre car park.
This was happening every weekend. The air was full of the delicious smells from the many different restaurants reflecting Johannesburg’s wide cultural spectrum while the place vibrated with a wide range of African and other jazz music.
The buzz amongst the largely young black, white and Indian visitors made me recall the stories told by participants in the non-racial night life of Sophiatown in the 1950s in defiance of the apartheid regime.
