i remember by Charles Gordon has just been published by Just Done Productions R180

 

 

 

"This book emerges as a literary gem. It embodies a poetic and imaginative expression of social history, setting markers of remembrance for the monstrous distortion of human society called apartheid. Yet, the author’s visions create subtle pacemakers for the new South Africa."

Werner Zips

International film maker and author (including Black rebels and Rastafari)

 

“i remember is an incredible roller-coaster journey of remembering. Each poem and story appears carefully selected to portray a dramatic, evocative and celebrative memorisation of life that is fresh yet familiar to the reader and become a creative definition of social transformation in action. The author realigns our social memories despite how sad, painful or shameful they may be and in the process breaks the control others or the past may have had over our memories. i remember reflects the shared, collective memory and experiences of all of us.

The author begins his journey with a strong sense of discontent, protest and political resistance against the back drop of the earthquake of 1969 that caused wide scale devastation in the Boland in the Western Cape and how under its darkness rural communities were dispossessed from their land and forcibly moved to ‘strange and soulless places”. The author reconstructs his past using poetry, stories, myths, images, maps, music and tells about his and his communities search for identity, roots, meaning, justice, land and the ultimate goal freedom. “

Extract from the Foreword by Dr Matthews Phosa

 

"The writer tells a life story that echoes that of many black people. With photos and poems it becomes a gripping story of loss of land and home and the influence of black consciousness on his world view."

Hanlie Retief
