What Members Thought
An autobiographical account of a black writer's life, from his childhood in poverty, to his early teaching career and marriage in a country where the colour of his skin sees him discriminated against. An interesting story for the history of the struggle of men and women like Mr Mphahlele.

I found this book at thrift store. Since I've been to South Africa and truly enjoy its literature I picked it up. I was delighted to find a lovely memoir of one man's stuggle to become a teacher under apartheid. A very good read for less than a dollar!
