His focus is on our attempts to influence public policy, particularly in the area of legislation. He comes at his task with scholarly rigor and with the passion of a Pan-Africanist.

The churches were by and large collaborators in those systemic injustices... Father Nnorom is right to call us to account for our moral lassitude. Nevertheless, we can take encouragement from what we did accomplish. Apartheid is ended. The Portuguese colonial system is finished. Enormous problems, political and economic, face the newly independent states. We cannot abandon our concern for peacemaking, reconstruction and development now. I would hope that this book will serve as a reminder of the accomplishments as well as the shortcomings of our efforts to bring about liberation in Southern Africa.
