“Three generations of white South African men were bound together at that table. Vermuelen was the first generation. He defined Africa, made it safe for Basson to defile. I was the last generation, the last to grow up in segregated neighborhoods. Between us was the silent photograph of Wouter Basson. Like a distant father, Basson was absent at the dining table.” – Henk Rossouw (Hole in the White ‘Hood).

Ròt-Bò-Krik
Ròt-Bò-Krik is a small, independent, polyphonic, joyful and baroque publishing house. It was born in Sète in the summer of 2021.
Ròt-Bò-Krik publishes books of modest form and easy format, inexpensive, to put into circulation texts, fictional or not, which play the role of facilitators between utopias of yesterday and tomorrow. It intends to propagate improbable, unknown, salient, inflammatory, cosmopolitan, edgy, prolific, colorful, cutting works.
By choosing to adorn each of its publications with works by William Morris, an ardent defender of emancipatory art, reinventing a horizon by drawing inspiration from ancient popular practices, Ròt-Bò-Krik asserts the artisanal and committed nature of its editorial peddling.
The Ròt-Bò-Krik editions were founded with long-term Chimurenga comrade and collaborator, Dominique Malaquais (†).
