Cry, The Beloved Country by Alan Paton - A Short Summary & Review

A short summary of the book Cry, The Beloved Country:

Kumalo's tragedy in the illiberality of South Africa

My favorite Alan Paton quote from the book:

"I do this not because I am courageous and honest, but because it is the only way to end the conflict of my deepest soul"

Questions I pondered while reading Cry, The Beloved Country:

Is the disintegration of tribalism the cause of many of our problems?

How detrimental is fear to our society?

My review of Cry, The Beloved Country:

Industrialism wasn't always the right answer.

Don't fear what is different.

Families should stand by one another.
