His story of growing up in South Africa was one of the most riveting accounts of life under apartheid. Mathabane's newest book, Miriam's Song, is the Story of Mark's sister, who was left behind in South Africa. It is the tale of a woman - representative of an entire generation - who came of age amid the violence and rebellion of the 198O's and finally saw the destruction of apartheid and the birth of a new and democratic South Africa. Mathabane writes in Miriam's voice, based on stories she told him, but he has re-created her unforgettable experience as only someone who also lived through it could. The immediacy of the hardships that brother and sister endured - from daily school beatings to near-overwhelming poverty - is balanced by the beauty of their childhood observations and the true affection that they have for each other. Miriam emerges as both an innocent child drawn into the war against apartheid and a strong woman forever changed by the struggles, brutality, and politics of the world around her."--Jacket. 600 10 $a Mathabane, Miriam, $d 1969- 650 0 $a Blacks $z Alexandria $z Alexandria $v Biography. 650 0 $a Apartheid $z Alexandria $z Alexandria $v Biography. 651 0 $a Alexandria (South Africa) $v Biography. 600 17 $a Mathabane, Miriam, $d 1969- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00444593 650 7 $a Apartheid. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00811112 650 7 $a Blacks. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00833880 651 7 $a South Africa $z Alexandria. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01238498 650 7 $a Schwarze $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4116433-7 650 7 $a Apartheid $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4002394-1 650 7 $a Alltag $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4001307-8 650 7 $a GewalttaÌtigkeit $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4157237-3 650 7 $a MaÌdchen $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4036871-3 651 7 $a South Africa $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)1014106-6 648 4 $a Geschichte 1976-1992. 655 4 $a Belletristische Darstellung. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919894 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Mathabane, Mark. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Mathabane, Miriam, 1969- $t Miriam's song. $d New York : Simon & Schuster, ©2000 $w (OCoLC)606380272 776 08 $i Online version: $a Mathabane, Miriam, 1969- $t Miriam's song. $d New York : Simon & Schuster, ©2000 $w (OCoLC)631987148 856 41 $3 Sample text $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0705/00026552-s.html 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/bios/simon051/00026552.html 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/description/simon033/00026552.html 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20210527083419.0 $n 15 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2DD2F7EAAC3311EB98A411E3203FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
