A Good Looking Corpse The World of Drum - Jazz and Gangsters, Hope and Defiance in the Townships of South Africa (1995)
Minerva
- Original Book (800g)£15.00Out of print pre-owned original hardback book in good conditionIn stockAdd to Bag
This book recounts the 1950s in South Africa - a decade of optimism and hope that ended, tragically, with the massacre at Sharpeville - as seen through the microcosm of "Drum", a magazine produced in Johannesburg for black readers. The "Drum" writers - Henry Nxumalo, Can Themba, Bloke Modisane, Todd Matshikiza, Casey Motisi - lived by the precept "live fast, die young and have a good-looking corpse". These black writers on "Drum" - who were later joined by Lewis Nkosi and Nat Nakasa - were responsible for a range of investigative journalism, the best of which is reproduced here, alongside tributes from friends and colleagues including Anthony Sampson, Nadine Gordimer, Trevor Huddleston and Walter Sisulu.
