{"product_id":"caf-de-move-on-blues","title":"Caf� de Move-On Blues","description":"Longlisted for the RSL Ondaatje Prize,2019\n\nIn White Boy Running, Christopher Hope explored how it felt and looked to grow up in a country gripped by an 'absurd, racist insanity'. On a road trip thirty years later, Hope goes in search of today's South Africa; post the evils of apartheid, but also post the dashed hopes and dreams of Mandela, of a future when race and colour would not count. He finds a country still in the grip of a ruling party intent only on caring for itself, to the exclusion of all others; a country where racial divides are deeper than ever.  As the old imperial idols of Cecil Rhodes and Paul Kruger are literally pulled from their pedestals in a mass yearning to destroy the past, Hope ponders the question: what next?  Framed as a travelogue, this is a darkly comic, powerful and moving portrait of South Africa - an elegy to a living nation, which is still mad and absurd.","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"New - Hardback","offer_id":32949105557589,"sku":"9781786490599N","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2481\/5790\/products\/9781786490599.jpg?v=1609888468","url":"https:\/\/smeikalbooks.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/caf-de-move-on-blues","provider":"smeikalbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
