Kaffir Boy

My daughter must read this book for her class at school so I wanted to see if the pornography law suit against school districts had merit.  The beginning is quite horrific.  And I suspect conditions in the region have not changed much since the book was published, despite the fact that Apartheid has been abolished.  The book is not well written; it is dated, extremely melodramatic, but important for the historical context.  2/5 stars
