Ukusebenza/Ukuphangela: Raiding the Work of the Future
This paper is not about work or labour itself, and how it changes historically in South Africa (from pastoral, to agricultural and industrial; native labour, wage labour, migrant labour etc.), but about how the meaning of 'work' and 'labour' itself changes. What we want to suggest, is that an 'original' meaning of the tasks/duties associated with 'work' was 'woman': ukusebenza. What men did, does not constitute 'work' but something else entirely:…
IMpuma-Koloni / Eastern Cape, Part 2
originary scene of social division in South Africa. 2 We have no intention of undoing the critical distance History has taken from a liberal 'frontier tradition' . The past two years, however -the COVID-19 pandemic, lockdowns, states of disaster, genderbased violence, police brutality, mass protests against the racism that that brutality exposes contagion, conflict, isolation, containment, confinement -have only intensified the close but enigmati…
IMpuma-Koloni / Eastern Cape
The project from which this special issue emerges began in 2019 in a workshop at Rhodes University in the Eastern Cape, entitled, iMpuma-Koloni Bearings: An Other Cape? The call to this workshop brought together a group of scholars from various universities and locations in southern Africa who had a commitment to critical history, to reconsidering the implications of the discipline in the colonial and apartheid project, and to addressing a contin…
Commemoration | Centenary: Memorials and the Making and Unmaking of Settler History
This discussion originally took place as part of the Sounding the Land exhibition curated by Simon Gush, Helena Pohlandt-McCormick, Craig Paterson and Gary Minkley at the virtual National Arts Festival that ran from 25 June 5 July 2020. Sounding the Land (https://soundingtheland.co.za/) intended to use the bicentennial of the so called 1820 settlers' arrival as a critical platform from which to discuss the legacies of the settler colonial project…

The Graves of Dimbaza and the Empire of Liberation
This paper focuses on the ambiguous, contradictory and montaged space of Dimbaza in the former Ciskei bantustan of the Eastern Cape, figured simultaneously as homeland resettlement village, betterment rural township, decentralised industrialisation showcase, site of political banishment, international symbol of apartheid difference and as graveyard of the racially discarded, among others. Drawing on empire as the dependent space to command sovere…

‘I Saw a Nightmare . . .’: Violence and the Construction of Memory (Soweto, June 16, 1976)
The protests on June 16, 1976 of black schoolchildren in Soweto against the imposition of Afrikaans as a medium of instruction in their schools precipitated one of the most pro‐found challenges to the South African apartheid state. These events were experienced in a context of violent social and political conflict. They were almost immediately drawn into a discourse that discredited and silenced them, manipulating meaning for ideological and poli…
Controlling Woman: Winnie Mandela and the 1976 Soweto Uprising
La condamnation de Winnie Mandela au debut des annees 1990 et les developpements correlatifs revelent un ensemble de recits, d'allegations, d'enquetes, d'accusations et de contre-accusations qui ont mis en cause la reputation de l'ex-epouse de Nelson Mandela. L'A. demontre que le declin de la reputation de Winnie Mandela s'enracine dans des evenements bien anterieurs aux annees quatre-vingt-dix. Dans ses recherches sur les origines du soulevement…
