Product details

First published in 1946, this novel exposed the condition of black South Africans under a white regime. It presents a portrait of labour discrimination, appalling housing conditions and one man's humanitarian act of defiance.Mine boy opens with Xuma arriving in the impoverished and mostly black Johannesburg slum of Malay Camp. Xuma is a farm boy who has come from the economically depressed north in search of work in a gold mine. With no money and nowhere to stay, Xuma is taken in by Leah, an illicit beer seller. At Leah's, Xuma meets Daddy, Ma Plank, Joseph, and Dladla, all of whom confuse him with their drunkenness, violence, and apparent lack of beliefs. In exchange for a room and food, Leah expects Xuma to use his considerable size and strength to assist her. Xuma is confused by her kindness, but appreciates that she takes a shine to him.
