The St Andrew's Scottish Church mission in Cape Town, 1838-1878
When slaves at the Cape were emancipated at the end of 1838, St Andrew's Presbyterian (Scottish) Church became the first church in Cape Town to open its membership to Blacks. This accounts for the fact that ex-slave converts joined St Andrew's and not other churches. The St Andrew's Mission became an important 'westernizing agency' under the Rev. George Morgan and the Rev. G. W. Stegmann. It performed not only a religious function, but also becam…
A new town at Uitvlugt: The foundation and development of Pinelands 1919-1948
The influenza epidemic of 1918 in the Cape Peninsula caused Richard Stuttaford, a city councillor of Cape Town and a leading figure in the Associated Chambers of Commerce of South Africa, to feel that better housing might have saved many lives. In his opinion the answer to the problem lay in the establishment of a 'garden city', and to that end he donated £10 000 in 1919 to institute a 'garden city; at Uitvlugt (Pinelands). The development of Pin…

I don’t sing for people who do not see me’: Women, Gender and the Historiography of Christianity in South Africa
One of the cultural features of South Africa’s new democracy is the prolific publication of autobiographical narratives by previously marginalized people. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission, chaired by Archbishop Desmond Tutu, has also focused attention on the plight of oppressed groups under apartheid, and many of the voices being heard are those of women. These personal accounts are breathing life into the sinews of organized political pro…

Cape Slave Historiography and the Question of Intellectual Dependence
Since the appearance of Peter Novick‘s influential study on American historical \nwriting,’ historians have been driven back to consider the nature of their craft, \nbut more significantly, also to take stock of recent historiography. Most of all, \nNovick has made us look at what historiography is and how history is produced, \nwhich has sparked a vigorous methodological debate. His book appears to have \nadded impetus to Colin Bundy’s recent ev…

During the nineteenth century, southern Africa was one of the most active \nmissionary fields in the world, and the London Missionary Society (LMS) had \ncome to assume a leading role in the shaping of religious attitudes among \neducated blacks and white settlers in the region. The formative influence of \nearly LMS missionaries in South Africa provided a firm ideological base from \nwhich later Congregational ministers were to address religious…
