Andy Kershaw examines the historical context of Harper Lee鈥檚 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel 'To Kill a Mockingbird'. He explains that Harper Lee draws on the only perspective she had experienced, that of a Southern white woman. She loosely bases the novel on her family, neighbours and events in her home town. However, Andy highlights that it is particularly poignant that the novel could represent segregation and discrimination in any Southern American town in the 1930.
