Out of Bounds Seven Stories of Conflict and Hope Author:Beverley Naidoo We are the young people, — We will not be broken! — We demand freedom — And say — "Away with slavery — In our land of Africa!" — For almost fifty years apartheid forced the young people of South Africa to live apart as Blacks, Whites, Indians, and "Coloreds." This unique and dramatic collection of stories -- by native South African and Carnegie Medali... more »st Beverley Naidoo -- is about young people's choices in a beautiful country made ugly by injustice. Each story is set in a different decade during the last half of the twentieth century and into the twenty-first, and features fictional characters caught up in very real events.
