Somehow Tenderness Survives: Stories of Southern Africa

Description

Apartheid. It’s about suffering, about violence. Here are ten stories and autobiographical accounts, by southern African writers of various races. Some of the writers — Nadine Gordimer, Mark Mathabane, Doris Lessing — are well-known; all of them deserve to be. Their stories, individually and as a group, create a moving, sometimes shockingly vivid portrait of what it feels like to grow up in a land where racism is the law.
