The book "In Boksburg" by David Goldblatt, published in 1982, offers a unique and revealing insight into the everyday lives of the white population of South Africa. Goldblatt captures the "wholly uneventful flow of commonplace, orderly life" of Boksburg, a legally white-only town on the eastern periphery of Johannesburg, and its dependence on black labor. With a fly-on-the-wall approach, readers experience a nuanced complexity of the town's dynamics, despite its rejection by many.
