CRIME CULTURE
RAMADAN OVER RACISM! An ode to Lakemba’s Night Market
CRIME CULTURE: Even until just a few years ago, the western Sydney suburb of Lakemba was regularly portrayed by the mainstream media as a no-go zone full of dangerous and violent ‘Lebos’. Crime Culture editor, Irfan Yusuf, pays a visit to the suburb that is now attracting thousands of people nightly with its ever growing annual Ramadan Night Market.
TRUE OPINION
A great and insightful representation of the author’s and her motheris experience in the midst of adversity, as well as the lawyer’s intimate understanding of an otherwise hellishly long-ignored, complex issue
As with all violence, domestic violence comes in many forms, wearing many hats: a cruel word, an equally sickening look, an action/deed, no matter how small, all of which reveal the true nature of the person. A charmer is nothing more than a worm living off its wit at great cost to others whom he devalues. The reality is that while perpetrators of domestic violence are easily recognised and are highly transparent many operate behind closed doors.
Their turn will come.
This will be a hard book to read, but necessary if not vital.
Thanx.
