{"product_id":"9781776191499","title":"Coloured","description":"\u003cp\u003eColoured as an ethnicity and racial demographic is intertwined in the creation of the South Africa we have today. Yet often, Coloured communities are disdained as people with no clear heritage or culture — 'not being black enough or white enough.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eColoured challenges this notion and presents a different angle to that narrative.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt delves into the history of Coloured people as descendants of indigenous Africans and a people whose identity was shaped by colonisation, slavery, and the racial political hierarchy it created.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough rooted in a difficult history, this book is also about the culture that Coloured communities have created for themselves through food, music, and shared lived experiences in communities such as Eldorado Park, Eersterus, and Wentworth. Coloured culture is an act of defiance and resilience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eColoured is a reflection on, and celebration of Coloured identities as lived experiences. It is a call to Coloured communities to reclaim their identity and an invitation to understand the history and place of Coloured people in the making of South Africa's future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Tessa+Dooms\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eTessa Dooms\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Lynsey+Ebony+Chutel\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eLynsey Ebony Chutel\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tessa Dooms,Lynsey Ebony Chutel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47378629755043,"sku":"9781776191499","price":295.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781776191499_2d250a0b-3483-4055-bd47-fca8e970e0ae.jpg?v=1776580947","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781776191499","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
