Promised Land

From the Back Cover: " 'Promised Land' was originally published in English in 1978 at a time well before the political events in South Africa had reached their present crisis. Nine years later, this powerful and apocalyptic vision seems prophetically probable, timely, and an urgent warning. For 'Promised Land,' set in the indeterminate future, offers a vision of life in South Africa after her white inhabitants have lost control of the country. The few whites who remain are blind to the reasons for their loss. They are unable to connect their desolation, their longing for past glories that will never return, and their loss of personal dignity to their moral destitution."
