A country and a town heavily dependent on black labour, Goldblatt manages to capture piercingly subtle details in the everyday that show up the contradictions inherent in the system of white minority rule. Still in print nearly 50 years later, In Boksburg remains a core work of South African photography. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFull brown leather, gilt titles to top board and spine.
