دانلود کتاب Soweto: The Fruit of Fear

“In 1976, Bishop Desmond Tutu warned the South Afric government that black people were growing increasingly restive under the oppressive yoke of apartheid and that he feared an eruption of violence if some minimum conditions were not met.

Tutu’s warnings were ignored, and on June 16, 1976, school children in the sprawling townships of Soweto took to the streets in protest. They were met with brute force — tear gas and bullets. Approximately 700 people were killed and hundreds more were wounded in unrest which soon spread to the rest of the country. There has been no real peace or stability in South Africa since that day.

In this pictorial essay, Peter Magubane relates the events surrounding June 16 through his camera lens, giving a poignant eye-witness account in tribute to the fallen and commemorating the tenth anniversary of the Soweto uprising.”
