Author Bio

Peter Abrahams (born March 3, 1919, Vrededorp, near Johannesburg, South Africa—died January 18, 2017, Kingston, Jamaica) was a South African-born writer who penned perceptive and powerful novels about the injustices and complexities of racial politics. His early work Mine Boy (1946) was the first to depict the dehumanizing effect of racism in South Africa on black and mixed-race people and was perhaps the first South African book written in English to win international acclaim.
