The Special Collections Book of the Week this week is:

Every Step of the Way: the journey to freedom in South Africa by Ministry of Education.

When South Africans crossed their ballot papers in the country’s first democratic elections on 27 April 1994. They crossed the line that divided a long, complex and often bitter past from a future of hope, equality and common nationhood. The challenges they faced were no less daunting, but now for the first time they could confront them together. What liberated South Africans could not do was alter the past or even free themselves from it. Their identities as individuals and communities were and remain embedded in the loves and hates, the contests and the bonds that define a compelling narrative.
