Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking study of the impact of current events on the lives and minds of children from the Pulitzer Prize-winning child psychiatrist. Most parents teach their children the lessons and skills they need to function in the world while trying to shield them from the harsher realities of life. But long before children are considered ready to face the complications of the real world, they are learning truths and perspectives most adults imagine are beyond them. Child psychiatrist and author of The Spiritual Life of Children, Robert Coles traveled the globe for more than a decade, from Northern Ireland to Nicaragua, South Africa to Southeast Asia, across the United States and beyond, conducting in-depth interviews with children about their cultures, ideologies, national pride, and political knowledge. He learned that the greater challenges, traumas, conflicts, and issues of the world around them find their way into children’s impressionable minds and play a crucial role in their development. Robert Coles’ unique and groundbreaking research sheds much-needed light on the psychology of childhood, revolutionizing both professional and personal understanding of humans’ formative years. “Robert Coles is to the stories that children have to tell what Homer was to the tale of the Trojan War.” —The New York Times Book Review

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Without hesitation, Rosie decided to move to the other side of the world, all because of her encounter with one man in a swamp; the consequences of which would be extraordinary. Having found her soul mate, a Canadian journalist called Matt, Rosie uproots from England to Johannesburg. Optimistic and independent, she is rapidly jolted from the tranquil English countryside into bustling Soweto. Apartheid is crumbling. Mr Nelson Mandela has been released from prison and whites are about to decide whether to give black South Africans the vote. In a battered red VW Beatle, Rosie’s journey continues as she explores Soweto, one of the most dangerous places on earth. She befriends a group of resilient black women, a bereft sangoma (medicine woman) and tsostis (car-jackers) and even bumps into Winnie’s body guard. But then her life takes a sinister turn: her car is stolen, a child is murdered and her neighbour shot and she becomes seriously ill. Matt is out of the country. What is to become of her?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soweto Story is the compelling tale of the trials and tribulations of the Khumalo family that took place during the terrible years of apartheid in South Africa, before the release of Nelson Mandela in February 1990. It is the story of South Africa, in which the colour of one’s skin determined one’s destiny. The Khumalo family represents all the families who were on the brutal receiving end of consecutive ruthless National Party governments that did not hesitate to silence dissent, be it from children or adults, who suffered jailing, torture, and even murder. Author Oswald Brandt says, “This is my first book, which I self-published over 20 years ago. I do plan to write about my own experiences and how I survived the brutal regime to be still alive to tell the tale.”
