Product Description Presents The Life Of A Twelveyearold Girl Who Lives In Soweto, A Suburb Of Johannesburg, Under A System Of Apartheid, And Includes Information About South Africa From School Library Journal Grade 34 This Clearly Written But Seriously Flawed Portrait Of A 12Yearold Black South African Girl Contains High Quality, Fullcolor Photographs. Tumi Is Shown Going To School, Shopping, Cooking While Her Mother Is At Work, And Relaxing At Home In Their Tiny Soweto Apartment. Although There Are Some Glimpses Of Poverty, This Is Not The Soweto Of Sarafina : Tumi Seems Untouched By School Boycotts, Police Action, Crime, Or Racism. The Book Is Marred By Numerous Historical, Geographical, And Sociological Inaccuracies. Some Appear In The Main Body Of The Text, But Most Are In A Section Offering Facts At The Back Of The Book. Rely Instead On Karen Jacobsen'S South Africa (1989) Or R. Conrad Stein'S South Africa (1986, Both Childrens), For Older Audiences. Beverley Naidoo'S Novels Journey To Jo'Burg (1986) And Chain Of Fire (1990, Both Lippincott) Offer Realistic Portraits Of Young South Africans.
