From Slavery to Precious Pearls
An oil painting currently titled “Portrait of a Lady Holding an Orange Blossom” acquired by the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto in January of 2020, has been subject to much discussion regarding the sitter, whilst the painter was quickly identified as Jeremias Schultz (1723–1800). It is generally acknowledged that it was painted in the early 1770s in the Dutch Republic, the northern part of the Netherlands. A plain Enlightenment portrait, it at …
Crazy train
This paper examines the impact of political and geographic polarisation on high-speed rail (HSR) projects in the United States. Drawing from opinion polls, newspaper articles and election results, this paper demonstrates that sub-urbanisation and the construction of the interstate highways have fostered a geographically polarised political climate that serves as a barrier to the implementation of HSR in the United States. In examining these facto…
Writing the Kingdom of God in South Africa
John de Gruchy’s The Church Struggle in South Africa was a bold attempt to write the story of the kingdom of God in his native land. While it stood toward the beginning of his written work, the themes laid down in it have followed De Gruchy’s writings up to the present.

It demonstrates how this moment brought into relief divergent contestations of the public within South African Christianity in three ways: first, by situating the TRC within the liturgical performance of a reimagined South African nationality, making it a …
Competition and Inequality
Competition is often prescribed as an efficiency-enhancing tonic for ailing health systems. However, critics claim that competition exacerbates socioeconomic inequality in health care. This claim is tested in relation to the “internal market” reforms of the English National Health Service (NHS) from 1991 to 97, which injected a small dose of hospital competition into a state-funded, state-owned health system responsible for more than 90% of natio…
Facing the Truth
Coming to Terms
Coming to Terms is a groundbreaking consideration of a country's attempts to put a troubled history behind it and reach a new stage of development. Martin Meredith takes an unprecedented look into the key cases presented to the commission - both those involving well-known figures such as Stephen Biko and Winnie Mandela, and those that deal with the routine violence and torture that shaped the lives of average South Africans. In vivid narrative an…
