The mailing says many of you have probably seen the features in The New York Times and elsewhere on Ernest Cole's book, House of Bondage, published in the fall of 1967 by Random House; the book describes in photographs and text the daily existence of those whose lives are determined by apartheid in South Africa; the text, edited by Thomas Flaherty, correctly points out the legal and social institutions which undergird the daily struggle. The mailing says because the book is such a graphic and total statement, ACOA has decided to purchase a number of the books at cost and sell them at retail. The mailing says the photographs of African servants in their white employers' homes and of South African police during a "swoop," or pass raid, attest to his courage and persistence. The mailing says there are sections covering every aspect of black South African life, from health care to labor, from the African middle class to the tsotsis of the streets. The mailing includes Excerpts from reviews of House of Bondage, by Ernest Cole.
