520 1 $a"On Jules Street, Cohen tracks the tragicomic fortunes of two charismatic businessmen and their colorful coterie of employees, who include former carjackers. The furniture store owned by Harry Sher and Jack Rubin is caught in the middle of the undeclared war: they are raided, robbed, and defrauded by gangs of criminals, customers, even some of their own trusted employees. The descendents of Jewish immigrants who came from Eastern Europe at the beginning of the twentieth century, Harry and Jack welcome the new democracy but must deploy all their humor, cunning, and salesmen's instincts to counter the criminals who threaten their business and sometimes their lives." "Spending time with the perpetrators as well as the victims, both white and black, Cohen reveals as never before the hidden psychology of the new South Africa. Some say they merely steal material goods while the system of apartheid has robbed them of their future. If you steal something from someone who has stolen from you, they ask, is that crime? Or is that justice? People Who Have Stolen from Me is the dramatic but true story of life at the sharp end in a country at the crossroads. It is also a hilarious and universal tale about conscience, betrayal, and trust."--Jacket.
