David Cohen's People Who Have Stolen From
Me (2004) is the story of two Johannesburg
businessmen surviving violence and corruption. Published
to coincide with the tenth anniversary of apartheid's demise in South Africa,
it is a social exploration of the nation's new democratic system--as reflected
in the corruption at a Johannesburg furniture store and considers the factors
that motivate both victims and perpetrators.
In this session, David, who had recently arrived in from Iraq,
read extracts from his recent book and answered questions from the audience.
David Cohen is a journalist and author of Chasing
the Red, White and Blue (2002).
