So Anyway..., by Helmut Bertelsmann (Used)

By (author): Helmut Bertelsmann.

South Africa, the late 1980s. At an independent township high school, the all-black student body comes to suspect a white teacher of supporting the Conservative Party, and the retrenchment of a group of workers sets off further unrest. Harry, the school's young, well-meaning white principal, finds himself overtaken by events he can barely follow, let alone control, while his marriage falls apart. Written as Harry's account to his daughter, this short, angry and unsentimental novel refuses easy heroes and villains in its portrait of how resistance politics reshaped education in a turbulent decade.
