The Dominican Sisters of St Catharine of Siena arrived in South Africa in 1877. White
women joined the congregation. In 1928 the first black woman entered the congregation
but because of the policies affecting the different race groups in South Africa, the full
integration of black and coloured women was not achieved until 1983. Chapter 1
introduces the topic of the integration of the black and coloured sisters. Chapter 2 traces
the origin of the congregation and looks at its development. A brief overview of the story
of the black sisters is given in Chapter 3. In the next chapter archival sources are used to
understand what happened. Interviews that were conducted with some of the sisters
involved in the story are given in Chapter 5. In Chapter 6 there is a look at the current
situation and some of the implications for the future as the process of integration continues. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / M. Th. (Systematic Theology)
