Abstract
This article investigates the escape account written by Alfred Hutchinson (1924–1972) called Road to Ghana (2006. London: Gollancz), first published in London in 1960. As the riveting autobiography of a black ex-Treason Trialist and teacher fleeing apartheid South Africa, the story soon became a key work of exile literature. Its reprint as an unbanned Penguin Modern Classic in 2006 brought to light the other side of the same story. This was when his white partner, now called Hazel Goodwin, was spurred to write her account of the same story in a book entitled The Other Side of the Road, under the name Hazel Hutchinson (2010. Guildford, Surrey: Grosvenor House). This records an equally engrossing tale of persecution and delivery into the New Africa of the 1960s, which is likewise discussed. Hazel was simultaneously deported for her love affair with Hutch, since their relationship was condemned under the Immorality Act.
