{"product_id":"out-of-the-black-shadows","title":"Out of The Black Shadows","description":"\u003cp\u003eStephen Lungu was the oldest son of a teenage mother, married off to a much older man by her parents, and living in a black township near Salisbury, Zimbabwe. When he was three his mother ran away, leaving him, and his younger brother and sister, in the reluctant care of an aunt. By eleven Stephen too had run away, preferring life on the streets.\u003cbr\u003eTo survive, he slept under bridges and scavenged food from white folks' dustbins. As a teenager he was recruited into one of the urban gangs, called the Black Shadows, which ran a programme of theft and thuggery with a half-focused dream of revolution. When a travelling evangelist came to town, Stephen was sent to fire bomb the event, carrying his bag of bombs and mingling with the crowd.\u003cbr\u003eInstead of throwing bombs he stayed to listen ... what followed was better than fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781913278182\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"10Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Poor Condition — £1.00","offer_id":47919142797489,"sku":"SB-1913278182-C4","price":1.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/1913278182.jpg?v=1789678763","url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/out-of-the-black-shadows","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
