Breaking a Rainbow, Building a Nation covers the university protests that took place in 2015–2016, better known as the #FeesMustFall protests. Rekgotsofetse (Kgotsi) gives us his first-hand account of what happened prior to the protests and what led to the events of October 2015 at the various university campuses and nationally. This is a four-part retelling of what happened on the ground amongst the students, first at #RhodesMustFall, then moving to the university responses and management and what ultimately led to #FeesMustFall nationwide. Chikane then looks at student politics now and how they are different from 1976, specifically the fact that the protests were being led by so-called coconuts, who are part of the black elite. The book poses the provocative question, can coconuts be trusted with the revolution?

The illustrations are beautiful. I was transfixed. The book is more about the boat (Carpathia) that rescued the Titanic (as the name suggests) and less about the Titanic itself. The book has been in my wishlist for months and it has exceeded my expectations.
Foster’s Celebration was invaluable in my spiritual growth journey. The book instills in you the deep sense that these exercises are simply the foundation to obedient living. Excellent work. A must read!
This book is an eye opener to not to succumb to a marriage that doesn't work and you can't buy love nor force anyone to love you! There are so many red flags in relationships that one should not ignore🥺while reading towards the final chapters I saw a bit of myself in there but to wrap it all what an amazing sad truth this book has brought to all women out there who has lost self worth because we give it all n forget who we are and forget our dreams this book demonstrate clearly how some men can mirror you as a woman just for you to cover his inferior complex or feed his greedy desired!!
