A Gay Childhood in Apartheid South Africa: The Jack Bank by Glen Retief

A Gay Childhood in Apartheid South Africa: The Jack Bank by Glen Retief

Glen Retief paints vivid pictures and addresses vital questions of identity & social justice in The Jack Bank: A Memoir of a South African Childhood. His stories deal with race, apartheid, homosexuality and homophobia, physical violence, sexual abuse - and much more - and he leads us on a journey of discovery and insight. And I learned that Post-Apartheid South Africa was the first country to protect the right of same-sex marriage.
