This sweeping narrative conveys the history of Indian people in South Africa. From the first boatload of indentured Indians arriving in Natal in 1860, the book weaves together seismic events–Mahatma Gandhi’s campaign of passive resistance, the independence of India, the coming of apartheid and the threat of mass expulsions–with the texture of everyday life. The fall of apartheid offers a moment of transcendence. Yet it also asks: what does it mean, at last, to belong?
