New Amer Library, 1986. Very-good condition. NO tears inside book. Tight spine - Bright pages. Illustrated with photos. 354 pages. NO remainder marks or price clippings. NO writing or marks inside book. ANNOTATION A unique, first-person account of growing up black under apartheid. FROM THE PUBLISHER Written with courage and conviction, Mark Mathbane's reveals the extraordinary memoir of growing up in a world under apartheid. B&W photo insert. FROM THE CRITICS Publishers Weekly Kaffir Boy (1984), one of the best books ever written about apartheid, became a bestseller everywhere but in South Africa, where it is banned. This absorbing sequel, about Mathabane's life in the U.S. since he arrived here at age 18 in 1978 on a tennis scholarship, describes his painful experiences at three colleges in one year and in American society generally. He recalls his editorship of a college paper, disenchantment with the Columbia School of Journalism, encounters with racism, threats to his life, living on a shoestring budget, speaking out against racism, his decisions to become a writer, live in North Carolina and marry a white woman, his success (with Oprah Winfrey's help) in bringing members of his family on a visit to America and in arranging for some of his siblings to remain here to study. Mathabane is a remarkable human being: responsible, committed, reasonable, level-headed, humane, understanding and empathetic. He tells a wonderful, inspiring story and he tells it well. (June) Library Journal This is a sequel to Kaffir Boy ( LJ 4/15/86), a best-selling account of Mathabane's youth in a black township in South Africa. It deals with his life in America as a student, writer, and outspoken opponent of apartheid. Like many sequels, this one lacks the power of the original. Kaffir Boy vividly details the horrors of growing up black in a society premised on radical racial discrimination; its wrenching story virtually grabs the reader by the throat. The sequel, in which the author describes both his trials and successes in coping with and ultimately taking advantage of American mobility, pales in comparison. Still, this work does nicely describe the author's ambivalence toward the United States--both America's lure and its continuing racial problems. Generally well written, it is appropriate for most academic and public libraries.-- Anthony O. Edmonds, Ball State Univ., Muncie, Ind. . Trade Paperback. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

E Rutherford, New Jersey, U.S.A.: New Amer Library, 1987 1st Paperback edition, 5th Printing Plume Paperbacks. "Kaffir," a disparaging epithet used in South Africa to refer to persons of colour is an arabic word meaning "infidel." This 1986 autobiography by the tennis player Mark Mathabane describes his life in the slums outside of Johannesberg under apartheid. It was a landmark publication at the time, and was added to a number of U.S. high school curriculums. It still reads well. Mathabane was able to attend university in the U.S. due to his tennis skills and interventions on his behalf by some mentors. It is apparent from his writing that he is intelligent and capable in many ways. Who knows, even under the present regime how he would have fared if he had not had the tennis skills and the mentors. An important reminder of the obstacles that face many of the world's peoples. The book contains a pictorial section with black and white photos. It does not appear to have been read, but the front cover has sustained a fair bit of wear including two creases, a scratch, a bumped corner and edgewear, particularly at the tail of the spine. Pages are beginning to tan slightly. Otherwise the book is like new, clean, tight and unmarked with a good binding.. 1st Paperback Edition, 5th Printing. Soft Cover. Very Good++/Not Applicable. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. (more information)
