First published in 1967, Ernest Cole’s House of Bondage has been lauded as one of the most significant photobooks of the twentieth century, revealing the horrors of apartheid to the world for the first time and influencing generations of photographers around the globe. Reissued for contemporary audiences, this edition adds a chapter of unpublished work found in a recently resurfaced cache of negatives and recontextualizes this pivotal book for our time.Cole, a Black South African man, photographed the underbelly of apartheid in the 1950s and ’60s, often at great personal risk. He methodically captured the myriad forms of violence embedded in everyday life for the Black majority under the apartheid system—picturing its miners, its police, its hospitals, its schools. In 1966, Cole fled South Africa and smuggled out his negatives; House of Bondage was published the following year with his writings and first-person account. This edition retains the powerful story of the original while adding new perspectives on Cole’s life and the legacy of House of Bondage. It also features an added chapter—compiled and titled “Black Ingenuity” by Cole—of never-before-seen photographs of Black creative expression and cultural activity taking place under apartheid. Made available again nearly fifty-five years later, House of Bondage remains a visually powerful and politically incisive document of the apartheid era.

Na Jan-Adriaan haar ‘n bevordering kos en haar dan boonop soen dat sy sterre sien, wil Lindi nóg minder met haar beste vriend se ouer broer te doen hê.Wanneer Jaco ‘n besering opdoen, staan Jan-Adriaan in as Lindi se plus een vir haar sussie se troue in Namibië. Sy weet nie hoe sy haar ouers gaan laat glo sy hou van die man wat ‘n doring in haar vlees is nie. Die vonke spat behoorlik tussen hulle en Lindi val baie harder vir Jan-Adriaan as wat sy verwag.Ongelukkig dink hy steeds sy is ‘n gewetenlose fortuinsoeker, veral omdat sy met oorgawe op sy liefkosings reageer die oomblik toe Jaco uit die prentjie is.
