Sacred History: The Formation of Civil Religions in South Africa and the American South in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries
The author comparatively examines South African and American historical literature that focuses on the formation of a "civil religion," a synthesis of cultural inheritance and religious ideology that informed both societies as they made their way into the future. The forging of new national or regional identities was a process catalyzed by conflict and synthesizing history and religion in a way that would ultimately shape the formation of racial segregation in both societies.
Choosing the Wings on Which One Soars: "Comparison, Historiography, and the New South Africa: A Response to Lewis V. Baldwin's ""Soaring on the Wings of Pride"""
The author responds and offers a critique of Lewis V. Baldwin's article in Issue 16 of Safundi, "Soaring on the Wings of Pride: Martin Luther King Jr. and the 'New' South Africa." The author questions the continued relevance of the United States' civil rights history to South Africa today, that the article "tends to overemphasize the importance of the American racist past for South Africans."
