Independent Reading One

 The autobiographical Don't Lets go to the Dogs Tonight is from the perspective of Alexandra Fuller, a white settler living in southern Africa during the ending age of apartheid. With the use of vividly descriptive language that captures the stark surroundings, Fuller reveals the shifting values of races. When the book begins, the Rhodesian war for independence is in full storm. When this enmity is final over, the political practice of apartheid is banished.
 Fuller's book documents the reaction and resilients of the whiter settlers living in Rhodesian (soon to become Zimbabwe).
