SOUTH AFRICAN YESTERDAYS (DAVID PHILIP)
Series Note: This series was published the Cape Town publisher David Philip whose business is described here:
"The wave of protest writing in the early 70s, especially in verse, coincided with the emergence of small, independent publishers. Ravan Press, David Philip and Ad Donker came into existence at roughly the same time, independent of each other. Philip and Donker were commercial ventures, aimed at profitability. Ravan was based on idealism -- the profit motive did not feature at all." (source)
