Michael Rosen examines four very different historical attempts at moulding the minds of the young. 4: South Africa: Black and White?
The story of children's literature in apartheid South Africa is a tale of literary starvation for blacks, a solid diet of mother country classics and fake history for whites, and bold tales of pioneering Vortrekkers for
Afrikaners. But for a teacher in Soweto, it might have stayed this way for ever.
