THE BLACKS OF CAPETOWN
Historian Zara Black is trying to come to terms with her family's past. The unearthing begins with her grandfather who concealed his race to escape the harsh realities of the diamond mines before ultimately changing his name to Isaiah Black. Subtly and astutely, C.A. Davids weaves a narrative that shifts between past and current South African and American politics, to examine betrayal and displacement.
C.A. Davids has lived in Switzerland, the United States and Shanghai, China and now resides on the edge of District Six in Cape Town with her husband and two children. How to be a Revolutionary will be her U.S. debut, though her first novel The Blacks of Cape Town was published to rave reviews in South Africa and nominated for the Edinburgh First Book Award.
