Cry, The Beloved Country . Alan Paton.
Cry, The Beloved Country . Alan Paton. 1987, 1957, 1949. ISBN 978074326244. Our driver on a safari tour in Durban South Africa recommended this book. It is about South Africa in the late 40’s and how the segregation policies had wide spread and often unexpected impacts. In Canada we can recognize similar issues rising form the treatment of aboriginal peoples, or the blacks in America . The book is simply written in the viewpoint of a poor black preacher from the depths of Natal ( Zulu heartland you can still see outside Durban). but it is not simple in its observations. You can read this as adocumentary, a political text , a humanitarian story or a reflection on the simislarities among all peoples. It is a wonderful book and useful for all ages.
