Maintaining Apartheid or promoting change?

More about the book

There is no doubt about the particular importance of the Dutch Reformed Church (DRC) in public life during the apartheid era in South Africa. A question of a more complex nature relates to the role the DRC played in the transition-process from Apartheid to Democracy. The contributions of this book offer sharp and differentiated analyses of the church-state-relationship in the last phase of Apartheid, considering mainstream developments as well as efforts of individuals or groups less centrally placed, though not necessarily less significantly involved.
