About the Book Kaffir Boy 

Kaffir Boy by Mark Mathabane is a powerful autobiography detailing the author’s challenging childhood under apartheid in South Africa. The narrative begins with Mathabane’s early life in the impoverished Alexandra township, where he endures frequent police raids, severe poverty, and the constant threat of violence. His family faces significant hardships, with his father often out of work and his mother striving to keep the family afloat.

Amid these struggles, Mathabane’s mother is resolute in her belief that education is the key to a better future. She is determined to ensure he receives schooling, despite the many obstacles. As Mathabane grows, he becomes increasingly aware of the harsh realities of apartheid and is driven to overcome them. He finds comfort and motivation in books and tennis, which eventually leads to new opportunities.

Mathabane’s skill in tennis attracts the attention of supportive individuals who help him secure a scholarship to study in the United States. This chance becomes his escape from the oppressive conditions of apartheid South Africa. The memoir not only chronicles Mathabane’s personal challenges and achievements but also provides insight into the broader social and political issues of the era.

 

This Page Is Under Construction

It takes a long time to gather all the data for our new book page format with more useful descriptions, themes, and activity ideas. Meanwhile, this page is active so you can order books; it just isn't quite as informative or graphically appealing as the new page will be. Thanks for understanding! :-)
