W. Shaw. The discourse was founded on Psalm xx. 5: 'In the name of our God we will set up our banners;' and was listened to throughout by a crowded congregation with unwearied attention."

Reexamines the history of South Africa, traces the development of apartheid, and describes the anti-apartheid movement

In Out of Africa, author Isak Dinesen takes a wistful and nostalgic look back on her years living in Africa on a Kenyan coffee plantation. Recalling the lives of friends and neighbours—both African and European—Dinesen provides a first-hand perspective of colonial Africa. Through her obvious love of both the landscape and her time in Africa, Dinesen’s meditative writing style deeply reflects the themes of loss as her plantation fails and she returns to Europe.
