Journey to Jo'Burg: A South African Story by Beverly Naidoo F

This book was written in 1986 by a former South African student who was exiled from the country in 1965 for her own involvement in the resistance movement against apartheid. She lived the story Grace describes in the book of her oldest son, Dumi. Grace's words resonate with Naledi, the book's main character, when she says, "We're pushed all over the place, but it won't be like that forever." 70 Even thought apartheid in South Africa has ended, Journey to Jo'burg serves as a good read to help others understand how things were and why we should never allow its existence again.
