COLORED HILL BY VERENIA KEET - SCARCE IN SOUTH AFRICA

Colored Hill By Verenia Keet Soft cover, 196pp. While the bulk of writings on the apartheid years in South Africa surround the struggle between White and Black poulations, not much has been recorded about the races caught in between. Colored Hill essentially focuses the lives of the Colored community caught in the middle, proverbially sitting on the fence and in large part denied allegiance or political affiliation to either the Whites or the Blacks. The story is set in the sixties through the eighties, and focuses on the Hunt family living in a newly created colored township. The young family grapples with their new environment. HIV-AIDS further divides an already divided population.
