A senior figure from South Africa's ruling ANC party has defended his country's sovereignty amid growing tensions with the US over race relations and a new land law.

But that doesn't take away from some of the serious themes in the book, such as race relations in the UK.

“It says a lot about how history and race relations are taught in our country, considering who everyone knows and who we only know at the surface. It’s a shame that his story hasn’t been brought to light more, and it’s one of the most important things that we’re doing.”

The 1840 Treaty of Waitangi is seen as fundamental to the country’s race relations.
