Book Review: Native Nostalgia by Jacob Dlamini



Dlamini's book is not just an ode to his mother - it's also a welcome celebration of the lives of ordinary people, writes Jonny Steinberg



At the beginning of his new book, Native Nostalgia, Jacob Dlamini tells us that he is going to do something audacious, perhaps even dangerous: he is going to get nostalgic about his childhood. Why is that audacious, you may ask. Well, because Dlamini grew up in Katlehong, an apartheid township, and those who wax nostalgic about such places risk being condemned as "reactionaries or even apologists for apartheid".
