She is forced to move with her mother back to the township, where she finds her uncle Oscar is no longer the fun guy she had always loved due to alcohol and drug addiction . A long bout of unemployment had crippled Oscar and, along with the depression that follows her mother, the new beginning that Hope was promised is all covered in dark clouds. And that's the least of her problems. People already look at Hope strangely because of the discoloration on her face caused by Vitiligo and starting a new school in the middle of the year with her rare skin condition really scares Hope. Either the township will break Hope, or she finds a way to rise up and own her future. Deep down, the lost spirit of the rock, Imbokodo, rises within her, and what Hope does at her school creates a bright light in a hopeless world.

ISBN : 1868144585
Book Description
African Dream Machines takes African headrests out of the category of functional objects and into the more rarefied category of ‘art’ objects. Styles in African headrests are usually defined in terms of western art and archaeological discourses, but this book interrogates these definitions of style and demonstrates the shortcomings of defining a single formal style model as exclusive to a single ethnic group. Among the artefacts made by southern African peoples, headrests were the best known. Anitra Nettleton’s study of the uses and forms of headrests opened up a number of art-historical methodologies in the attempt to gain an understanding of form, style and content in African art objects. Her drawings of each and every headrest encountered become a major part of the project.

This book was written to inspire people to take action and pursue their African dream. It detailed my journey into leadership and how I found my African dream.

My story inspired me to take action and how we can also do something to enhance the development of the African continent. We should not be a bystander and watch things happen, we need to do something to secure our planet and protect future generations. The book explores the needs of why we have to put people first in designing development programs and outcomes. It also represents how the future would look like and how we can be prepared for it as Africans.
