The very witty title of the article is a reference to "Cry, the Beloved Country"[0], a famous South African novel from 1948 dealing with the racist social structures leading to Apartheid. (It deals with other things too). It's a great book and I would recommend it to anyone, even if you're not particularly interested in South Africa.

One of the most interesting things I remember about "Cry, the Beloved Country" was feeling as though the book had a rhythm.
