Paton, Alan(1948)
Cry, the Beloved Country

This great South African novel is still the best cure for anyone, white or black or "other", who falls victim to the lethal virus of racial prejudice. Whether it's your mind or your heart that needs opening and cleansing, the tragedy of the Rev. Stephen Kumalo will perform the procedure with pages to spare, and send you back to the human race no matter how far you've strayed. I read it when I was 16 and never doubted once, for the rest of my life, which side in this struggle was my side.
