GORDIMER, Nadine and David GOLDBLATT. Lifetimes under Apartheid.

(New york, NY): Alfred A. Knopf, 1986. First US edition. Hardcover. 28.6 by 24.8cm. 115 pages. A powerful collaboration between, Nadine Gordimer, the Nobel Prize-winning novelist and, David Goldblatt, one of South Africa’s most important photographers. Gordimer’s carefully selected passages from her fiction are juxtaposed with Goldblatt’s stark documentary photographs, creating an affecting portrait of ordinary lives lived under the system of apartheid. The book moves beyond political abstraction to record the human consequences of segregation—in work, family life, housing, leisure and public space. A very good copy in dustwrapper.
