2. I love this book. My brother lived in south Africa for 4 years and talking to him about the issues of race in the book he went into great detail

   1. Hi Audrey,
      The book seems interesting, especially since you know a person
      that lived there. I will try to get the book.

3. Sorry guys new to Senior Planet and all of the great resources…I see the library loan mentioned
   Grew up in SE Alabama in the 60’s…taking a break from all this political stuff..saw my family go through so much prejudice. Remember the Selma riots etc.
   Thanks will continue to explore Senior Planet..

4. Really enjoyed this book. It was an easy read and I learned so much about an area of the world I never was interested in learning about before. Now I have new insights as I watch The Daily Show. I especially appreciated the comparison between apartheid and the American Black experience. Can’t wait to participate in the discussion!

8. I would love to join, but there are only a few copies of e-books at our library and all are in use. So I can’t join. I did, however, reserve it to read on my own.
