A Chain of Voices is a 1982 novel by Afrikaans writer André Brink. The novel is a historical novel which recounts the roots of the apartheid system during the early part of the 19th century. The novel focuses on a slave revolt center in the country north-east of Cape Town. The novel uses a coalition of voices, representing the whole range of social groups in South Africa.
This book made a deep impression on me when I read it sometime in the 1980s. It deeply illustrates the cruelty of racial injustice through the individual voices of a number of persons living on a farm in South Africa.
