Recenzii
‘This book plots, historically, the journey of the birds of passage – the migrants – and their refusal to fly away from a city that pretended they did not exist. A cultural memory transported from villages to new geographies only to be converted into trade-able cultural goods and services.’
— Author of The Man Who Founded the ANC, Bongani Ngqulunga
‘Maye? Maye!: The history and heritage of the Kwa Mai Mai market is the piece of gold we have been waiting for. It is a treasure that intrigues one’s intellect with its digging into the shafts of the history of gold in South Africa. Maye! Maye! is indeed a cry for help for the abandoned Mai Mai Market, a potential left to decay without its fulfilment.’
— Author of Don’t Upset ooMalume: A Guide to Stepping Up your Xhosa Game, Hombakazi Mercy Nqandela
‘Here we have a real people’s history written by a public intellectual who has dedicated years to recording and researching the story of the residents of Johannesburg’s famous Mai Mai market. What those arrivals in that tough city have really accomplished is to make something both economically and culturally significant out of practically nothing. Where there were once stables, for decades has thrived a residential production site for the best in African indigenous costumery and medicine available anywhere in South Africa. Sithole has also looked the perfidious mismanagement and discrimination the residents and craft artists of Mai Mai have had to endure. This book is not only of great sociological and cultural import, it is also an exciting, nitty-gritty read. Do yourself and the city a favour and read it.’
