Liongold: A Stunning New Memoir Deals with Issues of Race Relations, Human Rights and African History
Liongold is Bea Alden's personal account of daily life in South Africa in the era of apartheid. Readers will be riveted by Alden's faithful descriptions of what it was really like to live under this coldly deliberate experiment in total segregation.
TONASKET, WA, August 29, 2009 /Journalism and Writing PR News/ -- The author grew up in the white suburbs of Johannesburg -- a tall, lively city founded on a vast wealth of gold, mined night and day by an army of black laborers deep underground.
Her parents automatically accepted the color barriers that ruled South African society; which, in that place and time, seemed quite normal.
No-one, white or black, escaped the effects of the rigid apartheid regime. Everywhere there were rules, written and unwritten, not only about race, but about the significance of class and money, about the roles of men and women.
So, when trouble arose in the family, the question, "What will people think?" loomed over every thought and action, trapping the parents and their two growing children in a bewildering web of secrecy, like the dense spiderweb woven over the darkest deeds of apartheid.
The book is available from Amazon.com, BN.com, and other major sellers. More information can be found at bzlionbook.com.
