Khamr: The Makings of a Waterslams
Jamil F. Khan

‘[Khan] has documented an important, spirit-healing story; a beautiful undoing of some of the unspeakable violence of Black, queer erasure from history. – Barbara Boswell, Associate Professor of English, UCT

‘When I read this book I felt less alone, I felt seen in all my complexities and hidden histories.’ – Letlhogonolo Mokgoroane, co-founder of The Cheeky Natives

Khamr is a coming-of-age story, where Khan tells the story of his grappling with classism, colourism and homophobia in a middle-class Cape Town, ‘Coloured’ community, where appearances are everything.

Jamil F. Khan is a Critical Diversity Studies PhD candidate, researcher, author, columnist and poet.

While being an award winning and critically acclaimed novelist, Rehana Rossouw, worked for many years as a journalist and editor. She still likes to keep her eyes on what politicans get up to, and the crucial exposé, Predator Politics: Mabuza, Fred Daniel and the Great Land Scam, is her latest bestselling muckraker.

📚New Times by Rehana Rossouw

As South Africa enters the second year of the Mandela presidency, political reporter Ali Adams is drawn to the scent of corruption wafting into the new democracy’s politics. At home with her devout Muslim family in Bo-Kaap, Aaliya feels the building pressure of the expectations of her close-knit community. Told with Rehana’s trademark verve and exquisite attention to language, the novel draws you in to the life of Ali/Aaliya as she tries to break free from this tangle of razor-wire politics and culture.

📚What Will People Say by Rehana Rossouw

Rossouw uses her beautifully unique voice to give life to the story of the Fourie family. Setting is key, with the family inhabiting the world of Hanover Park in the Cape Flats during the height of the struggle era. You can’t help but immerse yourself in the lives of these characters as they navigate their family relationships while faced with issues of marginalisation in their disadvantaged community, made all the more real by Rossouw’s vivid descriptions and use of Cape Flats slang.
