J onathon L. E arle . Colonial Buganda and the End of Empire: Political Thought and Historical Imagination in Africa
With Jonathon L. Earle’s Colonial Buganda and the End of Empire: Political Thought and Historical Imagination in Africa, we can see the potential of African intellectual history. Earle’s study considers a group of argumentative Baganda during the colonial era. They were theologians, playwrights, journalists, and scholars—sometimes simultaneously—at various degrees of separation from the center of political power in Southern Uganda, whose ideas he…
The Foundation: Design, Time, and Possibility in 1960s Nairobi
This article explores the history of an experiment in architectural education that took place at what is today the University of Nairobi, between 1965 and 1967. Organized by Selby Mvusi, a South African industrial designer, and Derek Morgan, a British expatriate architect, what was known as the 'Foundation Course' was both an experiment in architectural education in postcolonial Africa and a serious attempt to think through the African experience…
André Odendaal. The Founders: The Origins of the ANC and the Struggle for Democracy in South Africa
The African National Congress (ANC) is the African continent's oldest extant political organization. Founded as the South African Native National Congress in 1912, its centenary in 2012 occasioned a flurry of conferences, publications, and reminiscences, a flood of scholarship that shows no signs of abating. Similarly, two decades of ANC rule and the passing of Nelson Mandela, its embodied ideal, has occasioned a good deal of reassessment, some o…

Archie L. Dick. The Hidden History of South Africa's Book and Reading Cultures
In 1972, the South African activist Steve Biko described how he read. “I rarely finish a book,” he explained. “I always go to find something from a book.” Biko was an instrumental reader; the written word was an object that he animated, according to what he and others perceived as their immediate needs. In the heat of struggle, activists like Biko read strategically and tactically—in keeping with the traditions of subaltern literacy in South Afri…
Notes from Marikana, South Africa: The Platinum Miners’ Strike, the Massacre, and the Struggle for Equivalence
This note reflects on the August 2012 miners' strike at Marikana, South Africa in light of a century long history of violence associated with worker actions in that country and elsewhere in the Global South. It suggests that the breakaway union's allegedly ‘illegal’ strike fits within a long tradition of radical worker activism in South Africa, which is best understood in light of anticolonial efforts to short-circuit the chronologies of imperial…
Two Stories about Art, Education, and Beauty in Twentieth-Century South Africa
THIS IS A STORY WITHIN A STORY, and the first story ends like this: On Monday, September 15, 1980, Silverman Jara was stoned to death. Jara was a school principal in apartheid South Africa’s Ciskei Bantustan; he was killed by his own students, apparently as he attempted to prevent them from destroying their school.1 His was the fourth death resulting from the riots that had been roiling the region for fourteen days. The Ciskei’s top official, Chi…
Robert TRENT Vinson. The Americans Are Coming: Dreams of African American Liberation in Segregationist South Africa
What is international history? Is it comparative history, recast? Or does international mean transnational, befitting an era of crossed borders and declining national sovereignty? The most persuasive international histories straddle both camps, recognizing that to do international history means above all to think transnationally and comparatively, as historical subjects often have. As Robert Trent Vinson suggests in this economical and elegant mo…
Pieces of a (Wo)man: Feminism, Gender and Adulthood in Black Consciousness, 1968-1977
More than three decades after the death of Steve Biko and the banning of Black Consciousness organisations, the movement's ideology, politics and political philosophy are subject to heated debate. Nowhere is this more evident than in the areas of gender and women's participation, subjects about which the Black Consciousness archival record is reticent. This article argues that since Black Consciousness was a political philosophy concerned, above …
Removing the Blinders and Adjusting the View: A Case Study from Early Colonial Sierra Leone
Mende raiders caught Mr. Goodman, “an educated young Sierra Leonean clerk,” at Mocolong, where he “was first tortured by having his tongue cut out, and then being decapitated.” His was a brutal fate, not unlike those which befell scores of his fellow Sierra Leoneans in the spring of 1898. Others were stripped of their Europeanstyle clothes and systematically dismembered, leaving only mutilated bodies strewn across forest paths or cast into rivers…
