The Seed is Mine by C Van Onselen

A bold and innovative social history, The Seed is Mine concerns disenfranchised black people who did so much to shape the destiny of South Africa. After years of interviews with Kas Maine and his neighbours, employers, friends, and family - a rare triumph of collaborative courage and dedication - Charles van Onselen has recreated the entire life of a man who struggled to maintain his family in a world dedicated to enriching whites and impoverishing blacks, while South Africa was tearing them apart.

Van Onselen, Charles: - Charles van Onselen is one of South Africa's most widely respected historians and the acclaimed author of 'The Small Matter of a Horse' 'The Fox and the Flies' and 'The Seed is Mine' the latter of which won the Alan Paton Award for non-fiction. A graduate of Rhodes University Grahamstown and St Antony's College Oxford he has published extensively in leading international journals devoted to historical studies and has been honoured with visiting fellowships at Harvard Yale Cambridge and Oxford. He is currently a Research Professor at the Centre for the Advancement of Scholarship at the University of Pretoria.
