A Tangled Past
In this article I explore how ordinary people gained access and lost rights to land over the course of the twentieth century in Letaba (present-day Mopani) District, Limpopo Province. I provide a periodised account of this process, focusing on homesteads and individuals rather than on ‘communities’. I show that rights to land were less static, and personal histories of access to and loss of land less linear than is often imagined in popular narra…
Gabriela Pechlaner. Corporate Crops
C orporate Crops examines shifts in agricultural production caused by the introduction and spread of biotechnology, which Pechlaner argues represents a new "global food regime." With a North American focus, Pechlaner examines biotechnology by drawing on the voices of people who engage with it, both intentionally and unintentionally (i.e., through involuntary field contamination). Technological change, specifically the increasing reliance on genet…
Prickly Pear
Beinart and Wotshela have shown in Prickly Pear the enormous potential of ‘exploring history from the vantage point of human relations with a plant’ (p. 1). Rather than focusing on one single drivi
Buying Naboth's Vineyard

This article looks at the process of land buying under the 1936 Act in the Letaba District of the Northern Transvaal, an area which saw su…
The Last Thing that Tells Our Story
This article attempts to capture some of the complexity in the way that memory, meaning and agenda interact in the history of the cemetery of Roodepoort West. Roodepoort West was the 'old location' where Africans and others lived until 1955, after which a gradual process of removals took place until 1967, when it was finally destroyed. However, not everything was lost of the old location. The cemetery remained, after unrest caused by the proposed…
