Summary
"A fascinating look at the vicious aftermath of the uprising of 16 June 1976, and the role of the African National Congress, the United Democratic Front, the Inkatha Freedom Party, the National Party and other role players in the story of this unique place of laughter and suffering. The plight of scholars and students, the Defiance Campaign, the move to armed struggle, the State of Emergency, the grip of crime and violent confrontation were all to take their toll on the people of the township before the era of reform promised that long-awaited freedom - for both the people of Soweto and the rest of the nation."
