The book Review of "Class Action: In pursuit of a larger life" featured in the IOL News.

Orielle Berry from Independent Newspapers writes "This is his journey of resistance and the harm greed and racism has done to our identities, relationships and the people of our country."

The book tells the story of Charles Abrahams who has spearheaded class action lawsuits to defend the most vulnerable and oppressed, but as a child he experienced oppression himself in the most immediate and visceral way.

In this gripping memoir, he writes about his poverty-stricken youth on the Cape Flats where both gang fights and domestic violence were rife.
