{"product_id":"9781786490612","title":"The Cafe de Move-on Blues","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn White Boy Running, Christopher Hope explored how it felt and looked to grow up in a country gripped by an 'absurd, racist insanity'. On a road trip thirty years later, Hope goes in search of today's South Africa; post the evils of apartheid, but also post the dashed hopes and dreams of Mandela, of a future when race and colour would not count. He finds a country still in the grip of a ruling party intent only on caring for itself, to the exclusion of all others; a country where racial divides are deeper than ever. As the old imperial idols of Cecil Rhodes and Paul Kruger are literally pulled from their pedestals in a mass yearning to destroy the past, Hope ponders the question: what next? Framed as a travelogue, this is a darkly comic, powerful and moving portrait of South Africa - an elegy to a living nation, which is still mad and absurd.\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+Christopher+Hope\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eChristopher Hope\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Christopher Hope","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47377091887267,"sku":"9781786490612","price":295.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781786490612_94176aa4-92b5-40cd-8d72-cbd508ac9fc5.jpg?v=1776591346","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781786490612","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
