Title:
Black Man You Are on Your Own
Author: George Sombe Mukuka
Publisher: www.publishamerica.net/product47859.html
What did I like about this book? 1.) The subject matter: Apartheid in South Africa, in the Church, in the seminary, in the priesthood, and how Black Consciousness fused with the Gospel message of Christ to change institutional structures and make the Church more the family of God it is called to be. 2.) The methodology: the depth of research, the documentation, the interviews, the oral history, the scholarly organization of the materials, and the impartial presentation of a raw slice of life that is part of South African history, which deserved to be preserved, and would otherwise have been ignored and forgotten. 3.) The style: direct, clear, objective narration of explosive issues that could easily have been mishandled by a less competent writer.
