The Boy

Описание:

The Boy is a fictionalized version of how one thirteen-year-old child makes a difference in changing the face of apartheid in South Africa. In 1976, Jonah Moloi stands up to the new law making Afrikaans the official language taught in schools. This language was considered the language of the white oppressors. The children's decisive action eventually brought about the end of apartheid. Jonah becomes the living symbol for equality and freedom. The novel follows Jonah as he leads the children through a hail of police bullets, leaving behind an efficient protest system before he is forced to flee. The Boy: And a Child Shall Lead Them will resonate with readers who believe in justice, and shows how one person can make a difference! Trevor Herron was born in South Africa and lived there through the Apartheid era. He immigrated with his family to Australia in 1998. I am white, Afrikaans, and English. I am as much a part of the black groups, be they Zulu, Xhosa, Tswana, Sotho or any of the tribes of my beloved country, or be they of Malay or Indian descent. Their history is my history, and all have suffered and all have been victorious. In short, I am South African. I've written this story in the hope that the Rainbow Nation, as South Africa has become known, will become a bright, shining nation of one hue only. That there will not be black and white, English and Afrikaans, Zulu, Xhosa, Tswana or Indian. That we will become a proud nation of South Africans able to look racism and hatred in the eye and stare it down. Publisher's website: http://sbpra.com/TrevorHerron
