When Morning Comes by Arushi Raina

5.0

Why read dystopian literature when you could read about apartheid-era South Africa? This is an inspiring story of characters participating in the 1976 Soweto Uprising. The alternating first-person point of view immerses you in the life of each character and approaches the story from the perspective of two black South African characters as well as a white South African boy and an Indian South African girl. Sometimes the alternating point of view was a little confusing if I didn't pay attention, but otherwise, I found the story fascinating and helpful in understanding how to resist oppression, something unfortunately still all too relevant.
