Author's Bio
REVIEWS
"Inspiring...provides a better understanding of South Africa, of
America — and of being human."
— The New
York Times Book Review
"A triumphant and inspirational book with profound insights about
race relations, perseverance and the complexity of the 'American
dream.'"
— San
Francisco Chronicle
Kaffir Boy in America is the best-selling sequel to Mark Mathabane's extraordinary autobiography, Kaffir Boy. The story begins with Mathabane's escape from South Africa to the United States, and recounts his coming of age in a country overwhelming in its immensity, luxuriousness, poverty and despair. From his early college days when he first discovered the great black American writers, to his emergence as the voice of a new generation, from his reflections on America's racial and social injustice to his celebration of its basic freedoms, Kaffir Boy in America is a moving saga of hardship and determination, insight and inspiration, informed, above all, my Mark Mathabane's compassion for his fellow man.
"An inspiring story...The glitz of America hasn't made Mark
Mathabane forget that the struggle to free his homeland is still his
struggle — and ours."
— Chicago
Sun-Times
"Relentless, open-ended, cautionary and quietly splendid."
— Cleveland
Plain Dealer
