KAFFIR BOY
I am starting the book Kaffir Boy by Mark Mathabane. It is an autobiographical book about growing up in South Africa's apartheid. It is recommended for grades 9-12. If you have read it, please let me know what you thought.

Hi, I am in Austin, Texas and have been reading this book with seniors for about 18 years now. I visited South Africa, which added to a unit I teach using the book as a focal point. Might your students be interested in discussing the book with my students and might you be interested in sharing (back and forth) our materials and ideas surrounding the book? I would love to hear from you. If you'd like to direct email, please email me at laurie_coker@roundrockisd.org.
