Book Description
Living Coloured (Because Black & White Were Already Taken) is a special kind of memoir that utilises short stories to
weave together both a culturally insightful and an achingly nostalgic glimpse into a childhood on the Cape Flats. From the
nightclubbing at Space Odyssey and the shenanigans at the Mitchells Plain public swimming pool, to the traditions of
delectable food exchanges during Ramadan between Muslims and Christians alike, this book truly is a tribute to all that
large parts of the Coloured community holds dear and sings of the spirit which helped them seek out an existence on the
dusty flat plains of the Cape. Daniels aptly illuminates a childhood and culture that is coloured by tender, joyful moments
and bright mischievous teenage haunts against the backdrop of a gloomy political and economic era in South Africa’s
history. With Living Coloured (Because Black & White Were Already Taken), the author shows that even under severe
realities, people continue to live despite the odds not being in their favour – that they make it out alive.
