Two copies of this wonderful book in my collection, opening with the following text on two black pages: 'Mr. Mkhize has been photographed twice before in his life. The first was for his Pass Book, which allowed the apartheid government to control his movements. The second was for his Identity Book, which allowed him to vote in the first democratic elections in 1994. Ten years later, we took his picture for no official reason.'
In the back the following credit line: 'The photographs and show more stories in this book were commissioned for an exhibition to launch South Africa's new Constitutional Court and its new home on Constitution Hill. The book was produced with the generous support of the Open Society Foundation for South Africa and the Johannesburg Development Association.' show less

On the back cover the content is summarised as follows: 'This is a journey through 12 modern ghettos, starting in a refugee camp in Tanzania and ending in a forest in Patagonia.' Signed by Oliver Broomberg. Offered on the internet for at least Euro 250,-.
