A land of frontiers – physical, political and social – for centuries, Johnny Clegg makes his way through the densely layered histories of the Eastern Cape that are embedded in its landscapes, and its arts. This fascinating passage takes him from the Great Fish River to the towering Amathole Mountains; from the birthplaces of Nelson Mandela and Enoch Sontonga to the site of a devastating prophecy. Along the way he meets artists, dancers and musicians who bring to bear their own commentaries and creative responses to these histories and awe-inspiring landscapes.
