About This Item
Ivry sur Seine: Editions GANG, 2010. Hardcover. VG. Gray cardboard with black lettering and bw illustration on front cover, black cloth spine, 110 pp, profusely illustrated in bw. Text in French and English. In South Africa, during the apartheid era, blacks were prohibited from drinking alcohol. The Shebeen were the underground bars in the townships. Gathered there were the lost, the workers, ordinary alcoholism, but also the opponents of the regime, subversion. The Shebeen were crucibles, the system was forgotten there as much as the weapons of its overthrow were adorned there. 15 years after the fall of Apartheid, Ananias Léki Dago, photographer, went to meet the myth of the Shebeen; meet the poet Wally Mongane Serote, ANC activist and active opponent of the segregationist regime, who told him about his Shebeen.
