A South African Literary Survey

A Land Apart is an excellent collection of short stories and poetry by different South African writers. It is divided into three different sections each devoted to the main groups of South Africa. This book gives a clear glimpse of life in South Africa during apartheid through the eyes of three different groups. It is a clear depiction of the times and struggles of all South Africans during their struggle. This book is excellent for anyone wanting an inside view of South Africa during apartheid.
