He ended up spending months in a small rural town where the white authorities were attempting to forcibly remove a black township. He tells this moving story through the lives of three families--one white, one black, one Indian--over the course of a single day for each of them. The private lives of each family reveal what it was like to live in a society where everyone is judged by the color of his or her skin.​ \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eStengel reveals the hopes and dreams of each of these families, and their resilient optimism about the future. In a new introduction, Stengel describes how some of those hopes even came to pass with the eventual release of Nelson Mandela and the election of the country's first truly democratic government.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/30\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439195147\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.48h x 5.54w x 0.53d","brand":"Richard Stengel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41573847302325,"sku":"9781439195147","price":12.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_a3c17b4c-bd11-484b-98a9-e21918ba8c5b.jpg?v=1643686262","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/january-sun-one-day-three-lives-a-south-african-town-9781439195147","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
