"Don't Fence Me In: Border Crossings as Writer and Reader": A Lecture by Beverley Naidoo

Thursday, November 15, 2007 7 p.m. Room 5120 Grainger Hall, 975 University Avenue, UW-Madison Campus

Beverley Naidoo has written several novels for children and young adults that deal with issues of race, class, and social justice, including
/Journey to Jo?Burg/, /The Other Side of Truth/, and /Web of Lies/. Most of her books are set in South Africa, where she was born and raised, or in England, where she lived in exile. She uses stories to help children and teens understand the lives of children growing up in dire circumstances. She will talk about her work in this free public lecture sponsored by the Cooperative Children's Book Center and the Friends of the CCBC, Inc.

If you're in the Madison area, we hope you can join us!
