Rights Readers: June 2015
http://rightsreaders.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Human rights-themed book discussion. Saturday, June 20, 2015. Our June Author: Andre Brink. This month we are reading Philida. A novel by the late South African writer, André Brink. The story is set in 1832, a year before slavery is abolished in South Africa, and the titular character was inspired by an actual slave woman related to Brink's family. The historical skeleton came to Brink via the Solms Delta Museum van de Caab. I also found South African History Online. In brief interviews for The Guardian.

She would be fit right in at a Rights Readers discussion based on the Wall Street Journal. I especially enjoyed Guernica.
