Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child

Each poem captures the resilience and ugliness of prejudice. Dr Phumzile Mlambo NgcukaLawrence Mduduzi Ndlovu has assembled an essential anthology on race and racism. Itchronicles the plethora of race-based prejudices that seem to be an ingredient of our verybeing as humans. Devoid of anger, even as it is so impassioned, this collection is a veryworthwhile read and singularly relevant for contemporary, global society. Mavuso MsimangIn a time when the struggle is between the responsibility of remembering and the danger offorgetting, we are called to conscientiousness. In this book, Ndlovu bottles the tensionbetween memory and the forging of a future in the most delicate way. Not only does heboast exquisite talents as a writer, but he also makes a gallant attempt to remind us aboutwhat is now atstake. Xhanti Payi
