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 the whites, and bold tales of pioneering Vortrekkers for the Afrikaners. It looked as though it would be this way for ever. But in the heart of Soweto, a teacher closed the door, put his finger to his lips and told his black pupils the story of how it really was. Repeat
