Review Quotes:

"A beautiful book, touching and powerful."--Actuphoto

"Bourke-White revealed humanity in her powerful, aesthetically structured photographs. . . . Highly recommended."--Choice

"Particularly because fewer than half of the photographs here were published in Life, this book makes a substantive contribution to our visual archives of apartheid's early years, providing a rich new resource for research and teaching. . . . The world should see this book."--South African Historical Journal
