<p>With his 19-year-old daughter, a collection of maps, and the help of an opinionated GPS, Peter Midgley sets out across Namibia. Visiting small-town museums and gravesites, crossing border checkpoints, and changing tires, they travel the length and breadth of the country uncovering every facet of it. Stories about Portuguese explorers and the first genocide of the 20th century collect on the back seat of their car alongside the author’s earliest childhood memories of growing up in the country. By the end of the journey, the stories piece together into an understanding of present-day Namibia and make it possible for Midgley to share his love for this complicated, vibrant place with his daughter.</p>

Historical

Wolsak & Wynn

<p>This is a collection of political poems, dealing with the struggles for democracy and dignity in many countries, but mostly centered on South Africa and the surrounding nations. Peter Midgley has written strong lyric poems, moving between languages and countries, pulling the reader along with him. He does rest, occasionally, in a love poem, or a more contemplative work, but the strength of the book is in its fierce questioning, its refusal to look away from suffering.</p>
