David's Story

"A new edition of the post-apartheid literary novel. David Dirkse, part of the underground world of activists, spies, and saboteurs in the South African liberation movement, investigates his family tree, tracing his bloodline to the mixed-race Griqua people of South Africa. But as David studies his roots, he soon learns that he's on a hit list. Now caught in a web of surveillance and betrayal, he's forced to rethink his role in the struggle for "nonracial democracy," the loyalty of his "comrades," and his own conceptions of freedom"-- Provided by publisher.
