Summary:

This is a book about Soweto from inside and out. It is an effort to mark a century since the first forced removals of black Africans from central Johannesburg to the banks of the Klipspruit River. It is also in recognition of the limited books available on a world-famous city. This book is a companion to a collection of journalists' stories about Johannesburg that was published in 2002, From Jo'burg to Jozi; Stories About Africa's Infamous City. The stories and reflections are written by a hodgepodge of writers from mixed up backgrounds, some from Soweto itself, some from other parts of Johannesburg, others from beyond South
