They weave a tapestry of stories highlighting the unique experiences of coloured people in South Africa, probing the question: Is "Coloured" a cultural identity or just a racial label? With new political movements on the horizon, some are capitalising on crude coloured nationalism. Join us to understand the book's roots and its role in shedding light on these complex questions.
