Ougat - From A Hoe Into A Housewife, And Then Some (Paperback)
Shana FifeUnsettlingly honest and brutally blunt, Ougat is Shana Fife’s story of survival: of surviving the social conditioning of her Cape Flats community, of surviving sexual violence and depression, and of ultimately escaping a cycle of abuse. Exploring themes of sexuality, marriage and motherhood, rape, drugs and depression and cultural identity, Shana describes – with the self-deprecating humour her followers love so much – what it means to be a coloured woman, who gives coloured womanhood meaning and, ultimately, how surviving life as a coloured woman means being OK with giving a giant ‘f*ck you’ to the norm.
A powerful, fresh and disarming new voice – Shana’s writing is like nothing you’ve read before.

"Wow, amazing. Definitely recommend this book." by Aakifah H. -
The lastest thing to hit the Coloured community and keep everyone awake is not Tik but Ougat. Did I cry? Yes -Why? Because I was confronted with the past experiences that triggered me. I think this book was very well written. It was like listening to that song that was lyrically well designed to fit and sum up your emotions and experiences after a heartbreak. To the author -Shana, Thank you for courageously writing a memoir that was both incredibly relatable but not fluffed with a happy ending that would have left my suspicious mind questioning . But it gave hope that things may not be the happy ending that Disney has scripted for you growing up -but you will get to a space of being okay that will give room for healing -even if that healing is another road to be travelled. Wonder if the movie will be as good.hint hint.
