Dog Eat Dog : A Novel (Modern African Writing)

This is a remarkable record of being young in a nation undergoing tremendous turmoil, and provides a glimpse into South Africa's pivotal kwaito (South African hip-hop) generation and life in Soweto. Set in 1994, just as South Africa is making its post-apartheid transition, Dog Eat Dog captures the hopes - and crushing disappointments - that characterise such moments in a nation's history.
