Reviews
"Ties that Bind is an intriguing and long overdue book about race and friendship. It marks a time worldwide when virtual friendships are fast becoming the norm. And yet, after reading the chapters, one is left with a clearer sense of what it takes - or might take in the future - to actually be friends across race." - Sarah Nuttall is author of Entanglement: Literary and Cultural Reflections on Post-apartheid
