Soaring on the Wings of Pride: “Martin Luther King Jr. and the ““New”” South Africa”
This essay treats the meaning and significance of Martin Luther King Jr.'s life and message for South Africans over the last decade and in the future. Attempts are made to relate King to questions concerning South Africa's Government of National Unity, to underscore his significance for the mounting crusade for gender equality, to explore his meaning for South Africa during the administrations of Presidents Nelson Mandela and Thabo Mbeki, and to explain how his ideas can influence South Africa's continuing transformation in the twenty-first century.

Latitudes and Longitudes: Comparative Perspectives on Cape Environmental History
This essay reviews connections between the environmental history of the Cape and similar cases along lines of latitude and longitude. It draws on many historical works, some explicitly comparative, some showing common processes in global or regional history, and some strictly local studies. More than offering a comprehensive survey of world, African, or Cape environmental history, it probes points of comparison and examines the links between the environmental history of the Cape and, on the one hand, settler societies in temperate zones and, on the other hand, tropical Africa.
