Prodigal Daughters
During the years of apartheid rule in South Africa, many women skipped the country and fled
into exile to evade harassment, detention, imprisonment and torture by state security forces.
Leaving the country of their birth, many risked crossing borders to continue the struggle in distant
lands. Once in exile, sometimes for several decades, many experienced discrimination, danger,
deprivations and the stresses associated with being a foreigner in a strange land. All lived with the
distant hope that they would one day be able to return to a liberated homeland.
In Prodigal Daughters, seventeen women tell their intensely personal stories of exile, re-
imagining and reliving a past for the sake of fixing in memory narratives that would surely
disappear in a country still struggling to shake off the shackles of racial inequality and oppression.
Stories of being accepted or rejected in host countries, and equally stories of homecoming, read
like bittersweet memories of survival, longing and intrigue. For many of these women, a life in
exile enabled their growing realisation that apartheid was just one facet of oppression in the
world. It connected with much broader struggles for justice and human rights.
South Africa has yet to fully appreciate the memories and records of life experienced in that
desert of exile , experiences that have helped society become what it is today.
It was in exile that I discovered, fell in love with and was loved by the African continent.

What exile did for us was to help us formulate that space which can truly be called home.
