My mind was shaped by what I saw, heard, smelled, feared, hoped there.... Though this work uses memoir and travelogue at times, I only use them to help share stories about South Africa and Swaziland that make possible a clear look at how religion, music, and the new capitalism of the post-apartheid years interacted with and finally defeated apartheid. Swaziland, almost enclosed by the Republic of South Africa, has been a refuge from, an alternative to, a fulcrum for the larger country with which it shares so much. As a British protectorate, it was independent of, though not untouched by, the forces acting across the border.... The interplay between these two places has fascinated me since at age six I began to notice the world around me.\" ---From \u003cem\u003eSwaziland and Soweto Revisited\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eSwaziland and Soweto Revisited\u003c\/em\u003e, author Lewis J.
