LIBRARIES AND EDUCATION IN BLACK SOUTH AFRICA

Abstract

Mention South Africa and it always arouses strong emotions and so a phone call from the British Council in 1985 inviting my husband and me to visit that country gave us a great deal to think about. Would we be supporting a detestable régime? Would we be safe? Would we be acceptable to the black community? How could we best help them? What could we hope to achieve? We decided to go and it proved to be the beginning of an interesting association with the British Council and black South African librarianship.
