A Survey of African Poetry in the London Times, Sunday Times, Financial Times, the Times Literary Supplement 1865-1985

Louis Heren interviews Adam Small on life in South Africa under apartheid. Adam Small, a black South African, discusses the way in which people who speak Afrikaans are "the true South Africans," and that "the whites...were obsessed with colour." He describes the limitations his children will face: "You cannot send your children to the best schools you can afford; only the second-or third-rate. They were bogged down in life despite their talents, from the word go."
