Hi All,

I will be making my first trip to South Africa in October. Whenever I go somewhere new, I like to do as much background reading as possible on the place, its people/culture and its history. I have already read Nelson Mandela's autobiography and am planning on re-reading Kaffir Boy, whcih I read in high school. Does nayone have any other reccomendations? I am not looking for tourist guidebooks, as I already have plenty of those.

Thanks!
