{"product_id":"9781776190249","title":"Native Boy","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs a child, Thabo Abram Molefe, along with his family, is impelled into the apartheid-era tradition of rural-to-urban transition. Moving from a farm to a multi-ethnic and vibrant township in the heart of Heidelberg, the birthplace of Eugene Terre' Blanche's AWB, proves to be both a challenge and an adventure as he works to evade the nickname that has followed him as a result — 'maplazini', Sotho for a dumb country bumpkin. Native Boy explores a young man's complex relationship with identity and race, seen through the lens of township life. Moreover, it is about his journey to escape the socio- economic trap of the apartheid regime to forever limit the black man to a life of hardship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Thabo+A.+Molefe\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eThabo A.
