A new book, Together Apart: The Story of Living in Apartheid, has just been published in South Africa. Intended for young people but speaking to readers of all ages, the book explores what it was like living through this dark and racist period of segregation.
It’s laden with graphics, illustrations and comic book-styled information. We asked its authors – literacies scholar Xolisa Guzula and historian Athambile Masola – more about their project.
