In this study, the schoolchildren of Soweto re-emerge to take a central role in the history of the struggle against apartheid. Helena Pohlandt-McCormick grapples with difficult questions of method and interpretation, while she discusses testimony to the commission of inquiry, contemporary accounts, and her own interviews with the now-adult protesters.
