Austin reader

Great insight into a newly emerging nation.

Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2008

This book brings the (then) coming rebirth of South Africa sharply into focus. By getting you involved in the everyday lives of people living in that country at the time apartheid was still in existence, North exposes the injustices of that horrible system and why it had to end. I read this book over a two-day period and would recommend it to anyone trying to get a better understanding of what the "old" South Africa was like for so many of its residents, as they suffered under its racist regime. As a footnote here, I was puzzled by the first reviewer's charges against North, as they made absolutely no sense, in light of how the author approached the subject of apartheid. I thank the author for explaining why that first review was even written.

Well-written and easy to read

Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2015

I remember reading this book way back in the 1980s after I had returned from a trip to South Africa (I went as a student of African Studies for university credit). Freedom Rising had a profound impact on me, and helped me make sense of what was going on in South Africa at the time. I highly recommend it!

Poorly written and devious

Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2007

This is a poorly written book about apartheid that pretends to be against it. Unfortunately, the hidden message that comes across is that the author clearly is, in fact, supporting this and other racist practices. It would have been better if this book had never been written. Or at least not published.
