A School in Africa. Peterhouse and Education in Rhodesia and Zimbabwe 1955 - 2005

: Macmillan, 2005, hardcover, illustrated, index, 277 pages, condition: as new.

"When Peterhouse opened in 1955, the British Empire in Africa was still intact and the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland - with its high hopes and fears - had just come into being. . This history of the school shows how it became a pioneering multi-racial institution in 'white Rhodesia'; shared the sufferings of the country during the 'bush war'; expanded greatly in the new Zimbabwe, survived the contradictions of a black 'Marxist' government, and has kept its firm commitment to being a 'Church School'. Despite the uncertainties and challenges of the new century, this is a story of faith and vision. "
