Pietermaritzburg in 1903, Alan Paton attended Pietermaritzburg
College and then studied science at the University of Natal. He
graduated in 1922 and obtained his teaching certificate in 1923. In
1925, he went to teach at a school in Ixopo attended by black
children. In 1928, he took a post at Pietermaritzburg College, a
prestigious, whites-only boys' school, where he taught for seven
years. He started writing poetry and novels, but was critical of
his novel-writing efforts and destroyed these early stories. In
1935, he became principal of Diepkloof Reformatory. Here, he
instituted a number of reforms and the reformatory succeeded in
rehabilitating juvenile criminals into society. He felt that with
greater freedom in the way the reformatory was run, the boys would
be better adapted to life outside the reformatory when released. At
the start of the Second World War, Paton wanted to join the army,
but was asked to stay on at the reformatory instead. After the war,
while travelling to study prisons and reform schools elsewhere in
the world, Paton had the idea for his novel Cry, the Beloved
Country, which he wrote most of while travelling abroad. Paton was
convinced that young urban black people drifted into crime because
of a lack of opportunities to make a living and as a result of
broken families and tribes around the country. This lack of
stability of home and culture left the young without an anchor, and
the unfair laws of the time inhibited them from finding an honest
way to make a living. In creating his characters for Cry, the
Beloved Country, Paton drew on three major schools of thought at
that time: There was a desire by white people to keep the black
people in their place.; There was an opposite desire among black
activists to demand equality more and more violently; and There was
the attitude of "brotherly love" as embodied by the Christian
churches predominant at that time. As a devout Christian, Paton
seemed to conclude in his novel that having an attitude of
brotherly love offers the only hope for the future, but this idea
was fiercely opposed. Although Paton wrote this novel in 1946, the
themes and issues he explores are still interesting and relevant
now. This eBook is in ePDF format, which enables you to: View the
