Yasser "Mierkat" Booley took up photography at the dawn of the "new" South Africa. He grew up under the political tensions of South Africa in a conservative Malay family in Bo-Kaap. He soon became an apprentice observer eager to capture the essence of the eclectic 'rainbow' nation. This book is a celebration and an indulgent vision. Booley's South Africa shows ordinary people, caught at a crossroads and entangled in a confused unity. Yasser emphasises the beauty of humanity across the diversity of cultures, classes, genders and religious differences. His character and style reveal an unbridled optimism, tinged with casual irony.
