About this ebook
South Africa, 1974. Apartheid has hardened into a suffocating stasis. Beneath the outward calm of white supremacist rule, however, forces are gathering that will soon erupt in the townships. Ekko and Gina are white university students, rivals, lovers, and restless spirits. Meeting in secret, they read Frantz Fanon’s The Wretched of the Earth, whose uncompromising vision begins to overturn everything they thought they understood. As Fanon’s ideas take hold, the unthinkable begins to seem not only possible, but necessary. If violence sustains an unjust state, can violence also help to bring it down? Convinced that they must act, Ekko and Gina embark on a course that will test the limits of political resistance— and of what they are willing to become. A searing political novel and a profound reckoning with spiritual transformation, To Disappear into Light is Peter Anderson’s morally arresting call-and-response to his earlier novel, The Unspeakable.
