Synopsis

This collection comes from his daily reflections during the Covid-19 pandemic."...Now we have a Freedom Fighter and, this collection shows, a poet." Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Mpilo Tutu.Michael Weeder grew up in the largely working-class area of Elsies River in Cape Town. The Group Areas Act had displaced his family out of District One in the centre of the city."In Elsies," writes Michael, "We lived on the border of the Indian-designated Cravency Estate and the coloured community made up of Malawian, Xhosa, Griqua, Indian and other descent." This early alert to the complexities of class and race informed Michael's sense of identity and the multi-layered nuances of memory.He has written, researched and presented extensively on issues of South African memory, history and identity on various platforms.
