Here's all the books that I had to read for the trip in my classes. Not that I'm assuming you're going to go out and read them, but I figured I'd let ya'll know where I might be coming from with some of the stuff I'm going to be writing.
Without further ado:
Literature works
Northern Ireland
“The Tain,”
trans. Thomas Kinsella
“Reading
in the Dark” by Seamus Deane
“Running”
by John Connery
“Everything
in this Country Must” by Colum McCann
“As the
Beast Sleeps” by Gary Mitchell
“Loyal
Women” by Gary Mitchell
South Africa
“Outa
Karel’s Stories: South African Folk
Tales” by Sanni Metelerkamp
“My
Children! My Africa!” By Athol Fugard
“The Train
Driver and Other Plays” by Athol Fugard
“July’s
People” by Nadine Gordimer
“Ways of
Dying” by Zakes Mda
History works
Northern Ireland
“Northern
Ireland: The Reluctant Peace” by Fearghal Cochrane
“That’s
That: A Memoir” by Colin Broderick
“Setting the Truth Free” by Julieanne Campbell
South Africa
“After Mandela: The Struggle for Freedom” by Douglas Foster
“Growing
up in the New South Africa” by Rachel Bray
"Ubuntu”
by Mark Mathabane
I still have yet to read "Ubuntu" or "Setting the Truth Free", (they're assigned for minimester B), but I have been recommended to read the "Setting the Truth Free" book before I start working with the Pat Finucane Center because it goes in line with the work I'll be doing. So really, that means I'm going to read it on the planes.
If you were looking to read maybe one them, I recommend The Train Driver by Athol Fugard. It's a quick read and is the one that probably had the most impact on me reading-wise. I don't want to spoil the play for anyone, but the way the characters interact with each other, as well as the final major epilogue from Roelf made the play really worth reading. I'd definitely recommend it.
