Borderland's theory in indigenous ethnic community archiving
The main purpose of this article is to bring to the fore the nexus between what borderlands theory stands for and the mushrooming of community archives in these areas as a form of counter-archiving and documenting the ‘other’. Zimbabwe's borderlands are uniquely inhabited by the marginalised ethnic indigenous groups of people. This prevalent borderland phenomenon has seen the growth of community archives which border on archival activism. Therefo…
Ideological locus standi of the African archivist
Political ideologies significantly influence all parts of society. During and right after the national liberation wars, African states mostly experimented with socialism, communism, and Marxism.

Do they advocate for pan-African ideas in shaping the national …

Considering issues such as authentication, ownership and copyright, the book considers how murals and their like can be used as extended or counter…
Building counter-archives

The purpose of this paper is to look into how such counter-archives are building and using their holdings. The study is based on two purposively selected counter-archives, which are the Sinomlando Centre and Memory Work in Africa and South African History Archive. The data were collected thro…
