[JDPUB: 112] NEW BOOK: Apartheid's Other Back Yard by Martin R. Fisher

Apartheid’s Other Back Yard by Martin R. Fisher has just been published by Just Done Productions

 

FICTION BASED ON FACT: R170

 

Matthew, born with a dark skin into a white family, struggles to find some foothold within a society that was rapidly becoming polarised. Together with his family he encounters the divisive intrusion of racial classification. He finds his world divided without a point of reference for his own questionable identity. Matthew’s life is irrevocably altered, when in 1948, the Nationalist government decided to begin the process of separating out different race groups based on their racial heritage.

 

Matthew’s story uncovers a new perspective of the mostly forgotten and unseen effects of separate development. When we consider the scale of the suffering imposed by apartheid, we are tempted to consider numbers as the determining factor as to the worth of consideration. This story reveals the broader and mostly hidden extent of the effects of racial segregation.

 

The narrative captures the essence of those challenges faced by a family whose personal and social trials, to all intents and purposes, went unnoticed. It takes place in society’s backyard. It is a place which is mostly unseen, hidden from the general view, a place where unused items are abandoned, often forgotten about... Matthew’s story is about the less obvious effects of separate development. It was indeed Apartheid’s other backyard.

 

Martin Fisher was educated at schools in Gauteng. He qualified as a teacher and taught in different schools in Gauteng and the Western Cape. He later graduated with a PhD and went on to become a lecturer. In 1992 he started his own development consultancy with a focus on Management and Organisational Development, the success of which he continues to enjoy.

[JDPUB: 107] NEW BOOK: FLYING UPSIDE DOWN by Brigitte Liebenberg

Flying Upside Down by Brigitte Liebenberg has just been published by Just Done Productions. R90

 

Following on from the first book, There and Back Again, Flying Upside Down continues Brigitte’s journey. In this little volume of poems, essays and songs, she comes to terms with her past and finds faith where before there had been fear... healing from hurt and finding a life full of blessing.

 

“I can do everything through Him who gives me strength”

Philippians 4:13

 

“What is impossible with men is possible with God” 

Luke 18:27

 

“The treasure that her poetry provides is that it speaks like a voice in the wilderness to other women who have encountered similar struggles and adversities. I have witnessed how Brigitte’s words have been an encouragement to many such women.

 

Poetry speaks with a mystery and complexity that can be supportive of peoples’ change efforts in ways that other media or narratives cannot. This second collection of poems and writing from Brigitte continues to reflect both the challenges and difficulties of personal change. It provides an invitation to be revitalised with hope, to journey with and to discover, or rediscover, an authentic and preferred sense of self.

 

Without glamorising or oversimplifying her journey from fear to faith, Brigitte’s poetry provides a resource of imagery to anyone who might be interested in such an exploration.”

Nathan Rogerson - Clinical Psychologist

 “...—another good witness for Jesus. Thank you for this beautiful tribute to our Lord and Saviour”   Walli

[JDPUB: 106] NEW BOOK: THE CENTAUR FROM THE TRIANGLE- a boyhood in Derby- EDWARD GARNER

 

The Centaur from the Triangle- a boyhood in Derby written by Edward Garner has just been published by Just Done Productions R160

 

While Derby’s Osmaston Triangle came into existence in the early 1930s, it did not acquire its name until around thirty years later. The author explains what everyday life was like for him growing up there, part of which was the five years of World War II. After the war the boundaries of The Triangle were partially breached when he passed the scholarship that took him to the Central Grammar School at Darley Park. Pupils attending there were known as Centaurs, which explains half of the book’s title. Also described are the simple pleasures of walking in Derbyshire and the noble art of train spotting. This account ends with the author leaving school to take up the task of earning a living. While nothing exceptional, what is depicted is a way of life that has slipped beyond recall, living only in the diverse memories of many. The Triangle still exists and there are Old Centaurs still among us. However, their number is slowly decreasing for their school closed finally in the Fifties. Maybe this book will in some way serve as an archive of golden days for some of that number.

 

EDWARD GARNER was born in Derby’s Osmaston Triangle, educated at the old Derby Central School, qualifying as an Old Centaur with no academic achievements attached. He first worked on the Derby Evening Telegraph and, it being the days of compulsory National Service, chose instead a Regular Army career. The highlight of which was serving on the staff of the British Military Attaché in Moscow in the 1960s, in addition to postings to the United Nations and NATO.

After that, it was off to Ireland for many years and a career as a journalist and photographer. While there, he wrote his first book.

Eventually he returned to England and Derby with his family. He continued to write and also started to travel extensively -to date he has visited nearly forty countries and lived in nine of them.

At present he resides in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa with Mary, his partner, before which both were employed on the teaching staff of a teacher training college at Gaoyou in China’s Jiangsu province.

Once a year he returns to Derby, where his family still live, taking the opportunity to rediscover the pleasures of wandering about Derbyshire as well as visiting industrial museums and watching steam trains pass by…
