About This Item
(Cape Town: David Philip, 2006) 9780864866936. 250 x 200 mm; laminated pictorial wraps; pp. (vi) + 138; numerous vivid colour and black-and-white photographs. As new. "Nestled on the slopes of Signal Hill, the Bo-Kaap is Cape Town's multicoloured heart, and part of every tourist's itinerary. The vibrant neighbourhood contains a wealth of stories: of slavery and emancipation; faraway lands, food and spices; music and culture; devout faith; and, most of all, everyday life. This multifaceted book brings the essence of the Bo-Kaap to life through short pieces of prose, profiles of personalities, poems, recipes and photographs (old and new). Author Michael Hutchinson has also gathered personal glimpses of life in the Bo-Kaap from residents, as well as paintings and photographs that capture an artistic vision of the area." .
