Winner of the 2016 Alan Paton Award for Non-Fiction

“An accessible and incisive critique of patriarchy and toxic masculinity.” Georgia

Rape: A South African Nightmare unpacks South Africa’s various relationships to rape, connections between rape culture and the shock/ disbelief syndrome that characterises public responses to rape.

It investigates the female fear factory, boy rape, and violent masculinities, the rape of Black lesbians, baby rape, as well as the high profile rape trials of Jacob Zuma, Bob Hewitt, Makhaya Ntini, Baby Tshepang and Anene Booysen.
