Storms in Africa: A Year in the Motherland

Book Synopsis: After negotiating love, lust, and language barriers on the other side of the world in "Is It True What They Say About Black Men?", Jeremy Helligar navigates more cultural divides in "Storms in Africa: A Year in the Motherland." It's a tempest of the soul that rolls in with a good, ugly cry at the Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg, just one month before the passing of Nelson Mandela. In a hallowed space documenting 50 years of racial degradation and decimation, it's clear a change is gonna come, from the inside out. "Jeremy Helligar is known for his ability to combine travel writing with cultural and political analysis. After discussing his adventures in love & lust across the globe 'Is It True What They Say About Black Men?', Helligar takes on racism directly in 'Storms in Africa: A Year in the Motherland.' Helligar has lived all over the world–New York City, Melbourne, Bangkok, and Cape Town–and never have his ex-pat musings been better than his latest work." - Chris Bull, Queerty Read more
