alicesage 's review for:

Cry, the Beloved Country by Alan Paton
1.5
informative medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

not as blatantly racist as i expected, but neutral and glorifying of white people doing the bare minimum. the fact that this book is criticized by Black people should be enough to choose a different book for us to read, especially for a college level class.
