"In this chapter, I highlight and analyze three particular themes that emerge in oral histories. First, I find that the LDS Church's emphasis on strong families and involved fathers is a particulary effective feature for may of these women, who have seen many marital relationships fracture under the pressure of apartheid and residual issues stemming from it. Second, I find that that these Latter-day Saints often employ a discourse wihc downplays issues of race, particularly within the church... Finally, I find that women carefully negotiate issues of culter, navigating between traditional African practices, church guidelines, and family loyalties." [Author]
