Charles Scribner's Sons. Good with no dust jacket. 1948. Hardcover. Ex-Library; 16 oz.; 283 pages; Aged Gift Inscribed 1953 HC no DJ . Cry, the Beloved Country is a social protest against the structures of the society that would later give rise to apartheid (which became law later in 1948, the year it was published). Paton attempts to create an unbiased and objective view of the dichotomies this entails: he depicts the Whites as affected by 'native crime', while the Blacks suffer from social instability and moral issues due to the breakdown of the tribal system. It shows many of the problems with South Africa such as the degrading of the land reserved for the natives, which is sometimes considered to be the main theme, the disintegration of the tribal community, native crime and the flight to the urban areas. Another prevalent theme in Cry, The Beloved Country is the detrimental effects of fear on the characters and society of South Africa. .
