The Boy Child is Dying: A South African Experience

In 69 pages, an American peace and justice advocate who taught English in South Africa for eight years tells the stories of black and white people, oppressed and oppressor, who are imprisoned by the fear and ignorance suffusing that ""police state.'' These true stories of love and pain add little to the knowledge that Americans have acquired through daily news reports and longer, more detailed books, but their integrity and simplicity evoke feelings of anger and frustration that so beautiful a land is pervaded by sorrow and suffering.
