June 16 40th Anniversary Edition – Peter Magubane

R3,000.00

At the launch of photographer Peter Magubane’s latest book, June 16: 40th Anniversary Edition( Photograpy and Reference) Stunning Book, at the Museum Africa in downtown Johannesburg on 14 June 2016, Magubane shared some of the dark stories that changed South Africa’s political landscape during his 60 years documenting crucial moments in the country’s history.
The book has been published to mark the 40th anniversary of the 1976 Soweto uprising. Magubane’s photographs of that day brought him much international recognition and
acclaim. But more importantly, he feels, they told the world “what kind of animal apartheid was”.
He covered both the Sharpeville massacre in 1960 and the Rivonia trials in 1964. During the late 1960s and early 1970s, he was arrested, imprisoned and even banned from using cameras by the apartheid government. It considered his work to be subversive and inflammatory.
