About this book
Reviews
The author’s analyses of the books are guided by insights drawn from current work on young adult fiction by international scholars and critics, and are written in such a way that they are accessible not only to readers in South Africa but internationally. The lives of young South Africans have much in common with their counterparts around the world, but the extraordinary history of modern South Africa gives the novels some unusual elements, particularly the breakdown of racial barriers and the consequent mixing of cultures.
