Book Description
This widely acclaimed and influential volume is now available in a greatly revised and expanded twenty-fifth anniversary edition that places the monumental religious struggle against South African apartheid into a greater and instructive global setting.
De Gruchy's authoritative and newly updated account of Christian complicity with and then resistance to one of the world's most notoriously repressive regimes holds indispensable lessons and "dangerous memories" for all concerned about evil, justice, and racial reconciliation.
