Soweto Speaks

In Soweto Speaks individual Sowetans speak frankly to Jill Johnson, giving vivid accounts of their day-to-day lives and the issues which affect them, from the political views of leaders such as Dr. Motlana to the attitudes and activities of ordinary people from different walks of life: doctor, housewife, actor, domestic worker - even tsotsi.
Jill Johnson links together these interviews, giving a brief review of the history of the township, setting the scene and providing background information.
Peter Magubane's magnificent photographs, often poignant, sometimes brutal, always sensitive, highlight the characters and situations described by the many voices brought together in this book.
