Absolutely.

For me, history. My first book had to do with slavery
and freedom in the Cape Colony (South Africa) in the
early 19th century.
I'm now working on politics and popular culture in
South Africa in the 1950s, '60s, and '70s.
First project required many trips to Cape Town. With
the second I've had to add Jo'burg and Durban to my
itinerary.
