Bo-kaap: The Colourful Heart of Cape Town

Description

The bo-kaap contains a wealth of stories; of slavery and emancipation, far away exotic lands, food and spices, music and culture, and most of all everyday life. It lies as the multi-coloured heart of cape town. However, who can actually give a true insight into the soul of the place, apart from the people who were actually born and grew up in the bo kaap? Much has been written in various publications about the area known as the bo kaap. This title seeks to draw these various strands of thought together into one volume and offer a potpourri of everyday life, customs, cuisine, traditions, and folklore and offer relevant information for the tourism and film industries, which have become a vital part of the area. An easily accessible contact list will be provided at the back of the book, including places to stay, to visit and to eat. This title also includes a detailed map and possible walking tours that anybody could take.
