An I. D. B. In South Africa is a book written by Louise Vescelius Sheldon that explores her experiences as a young American woman living in South Africa during the apartheid era. The book is a memoir that provides a firsthand account of the racial tensions and injustices that were prevalent in South Africa at the time. The title of the book refers to the influx control system that was in place during apartheid, which required all non-white South Africans to carry an identification document book (I. D. B.) at all times in order to prove their right to be in certain areas. Sheldon's experiences as a white woman living in South Africa allowed her to witness the effects of this system on the black population, and she describes the discrimination and violence that she saw firsthand.Throughout the book, Sheldon also reflects on her own privilege as a white person in a country where racial segregation was the norm, and she grapples with the moral implications of her own actions and beliefs. The book provides a powerful and personal perspective on the history of apartheid in South Africa, and it serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for racial justice around the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
