About This Item
London, England, U.K.: Working Press, 1987. Trade Paperback. Fine. The story of an ordinary man, narrated in 54 black & white images, set against the background of the 1985 riots, nuclear threat, and ever present struggle in South Africa; it is an attempt to expose the prejudices, values, and biases imposed on working class culture by capitalism; John is born into a rigid, degrading culture in which his life appears mapped out; like his parents before him, he is educated to exist as a consuming wage slave, but his education is not enough to do anything about it; the story is essentially about roles and the way they are used as props for an authoritarian society (black & white pictorial cover; a bright, clean, tight copy)
