Product Description

Product Description

Coconut is a story that deals with growing up as a black child in a white world. It is the story of black youth who grow up in white neighbourhoods, go to private schools and have white friends. As is the case with any child, all that these children want is to grow, to be loved; but most importantly, to fit in. Fitting in, however, comes at the cost of one's blackness - too white for black, and too black for white.

An Astonishing Debut 22 July 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Coconut tells the story of black people trying to get by in what were once exclusively white South African neighrourhoods. The two principal characters are smart and sassy. It is a light read tackling very complex issues. I recommend it for anyone seeking to understand contemporary south african society
