The Seed is Mine

The Seed is Mine

"The Seed is Mine: The Life of Kas Maine, a South African Sharecropper 1894-1985" (ISBN 080909603X), written by Charles van Onselen, is a profound social history of one man and his struggle in a racially divided South Africa. Van Onselen paints a stark picture of the relationship between landowner and farmer and its development in an increasingly racist society.

"The Seed is Mine" was awarded the Alan Paton Award for non-fiction in 1997.
