Graham Viney
Jonathan Ball Publishers, 2018
ISBN 9781868429240
The Last Hurrah captures in vivid detail the 1947 royal tour of southern Africa, both the high-water mark of the British Empire and the very moment at which it began to unravel. It is also an intimate, revealing portrait of the British Royal Family – King George VI, Queen Elizabeth and the Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret – hard at work in the national interest, and succeeding triumphantly against all odds.
Resistance to and acquiescence in apartheid : St. Paul’s Theological College, Grahamstown, 1965-92
Henry Mbaya
Sun Press, 2018
ISBN 9781928357827
This book documents the history of a major Provincial Anglican theological college in Grahamstown – St. Paul’s Theological College – that existed against the backdrop of colonialism and apartheid. The author fundamentally attempts to explore a narrative of certain socio-economic, cultural and political struggles. He contextualises the mission of the Church in theological education during a period of deeply rooted inequality. Thus, one is left to ask the question: What missionary role did St. Paul’s College play in the context of apartheid?

Its range and depth depict Sheena Duncan’s work over four decades in the church, in civil society organisations such as the Black Sash and, eventually, in the post-apartheid era.
