{"product_id":"9783958298774","title":"Margaret Courtney-Clarke: When Tears Don't Matter","description":"\u003cp\u003eMargaret Courtney-Clarke (born 1949) turns her lens to the bushmen of the Kalahari Desert. The inspiration for this book, comes in part from her grandfather's photographs of almost a century earlier during his mandate as Secretary for Southwest Africa (now Namibia), some of which are reproduced here. More than 6,000 miles of formidable terrain takes Courtney-Clarke across bushveld, sand and salt pans to drought-stricken conservancies, farming communities that function as holding tanks for “cultural villages” and peri-urban squatments. Largely invisible to the outside world, the bushmen today are dispossessed of their land, side-lined by economic inequity, and outdated mythologies that present them as living in an “uncontaminated” state. Courtney-Clarke's photographs lie at the crossroads between documentary and activism.\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+Margaret+Courtney-Clarke\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eMargaret Courtney-Clarke\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Margaret Courtney-Clarke","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47379334791331,"sku":"9783958298774","price":1485.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9783958298774_83b1b8f8-bba6-47eb-bd15-a6462f67eb2e.jpg?v=1776621001","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9783958298774","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
