Native Boy explores a young man's complex relationship with identity and race, seen through the lens of township life. Moreover, it is about his journey to escape the socio-economic trap of the apartheid regime to forever limit the Black man to a life of hardship. Mixing intelligent critique with candid humour, Molefe's memoir shines light on the experience of being Black in South Africa, both during apartheid and after, and the material and psychological legacies of its policies.

Do you ever feel like something is not quite right with the world? This is the story of Henry Tucker, a shopkeeper at the I-77 Antique Mall, a large antique warehouse off the Ohio interstate highway.

Henry’s new friend invites him to a party and his life goes from “normal 9-5 shop clerk” to “fugitive” as he witnesses Winston get busted by the law. After police kidnap Winston, he later discovers an old book in a pile of Winston’s antiques and it changes his life forever.

A common thread throughout anarchism/libertarianism is the eventual arrival at some utopian, free society. The idea is that if “we” focus “our” efforts on educating individuals on economics, morality, history, etc., we can hit critical mass, abolish the State, and live happily ever after. While this “free world” is a pipe dream, it doesn’t mean that self-liberators can’t set up pockets of freedom in the here and now, despite the existence of the State. This respite from first realm tyranny is called second realm.
