Apartheid and Me - Monica Clarke - Bog

Nangamsa, who is 7 years old, lives with her grandmother in a township in South Africa during Apartheid. Her experience of 'weird Apartheid, ' as she calls it, is told in her own words through conversations with her Ouma (grandmother). Through her eyes and language readers, young and old, are introduced to concepts of racial classification and laws such as separate development (Group Areas Act); and prohibition of marriages between white and non-white (Mixed Marriages Act). This book brings out the clear meaning 'Apart-hate', and gives parents and teachers an opportunity to discuss with primary school children the dangers of accepting social practices and laws which attack and erode human rights. It ends with a brief overview of Apartheid for the information of guardians. All income from this book are given to 'PROTECT ME', a non-profit organization to give self-protection training to women and children in South Africa. No. 127-027)
