White Boy Running

by Christopher Hope - £9.99  Atlantic Books (2018)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9781786496423 | ISBN 10: 1786496429

In 1987, after a twelve year absence, Christopher Hope returned to South Africa to report on the run-up to that year's whites-only election. The nature of the election campaign, and the bitter defeat of the liberals in it, lead him to write this satirical, evocative portrait of what it looked and felt like growing up in a country gripped by absurd, racist fervour.Widely praised at the time for its vivid descriptions of a morally bankrupt state, this mordantly witty account of escape, displacement and disillusionment is a classic of journalistic memoir.
