This book is superb!!! It's heartbreakingly brilliant and hilarious! I learned more about Apartheid than I learned from any history book or documentary. It is also a tribute to the most influential educators in a child's life!!!! Parents!!! We can guide or derail a child navigating through an already rigged social-economic system. As parents we can build up our children's character using precious materials so that they can withstand the heat of HATE! Born a Crime is a most read for all who need insight into the shadowy relationship between of LOVE and DISCIPLINE. This book has informed my actions as a Christian, a Teacher and a MOM!! Top on my read aloud list!!!!!
