Last Days in Africville is a young adult novel about a young girl 'Struggling with what it means to be the only black student in her calss in the mid 1960's Halifax'. What she does enjoy is the close-knit community in Africville just outside the city. The neighbours are all friendly and know each other, the church is important to them, etc. Suddenly the city wants the land to build a second bridge. Some are being offered money to move. Some want to move, while others do not. Many own the land and do not want to move somewhere where they will now be paying rent, and do not want to see their community torn apart. Others want to move to where city services are (water etc) and figure they had better move before they are forced out. Suddenly the church is bulldozed by movers in the middle of the night. Will Selina's family move? ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
