Rupture and repair
Narrating modern poverty is a fraught proposition. Scholars have been looking for workarounds to the “enormous condescension of posterity” for generations (Thompson, 1964, p. 12). Yousuf Al-Bulushi
Grief and Substance Use
People who use substances are disproportionately affected by both death and nondeath losses and have vulnerabilities that can hinder the processing of the associated grief. While there is an established and growing quantitative research base demonstrating the complexities between grief and substance use, the qualitative literature remains fragmented. This study aims to systematically review the grief experiences of people who use substances to en…
A qualitative exploration of the relevance of training provision in planning for implementation of managed alcohol programs within a third sector setting
Background: Managed Alcohol Programs (MAPs) are a harm reduction strategy for people experiencing homelessness and alcohol dependence. Despite a growing evidence base, resistance to MAPs is apparent due to limited knowledge of alcohol harm reduction and the cultural preference for abstinence-based approaches. To address this, service managers working in a not-for-profit organization in Scotland designed and delivered a program of alcohol-specific…
Archival Patchwork
The recovery of subaltern experiences in colonial contexts requires more than reading against the grain and interrogating silences. This paper describes “archival patchwork,” a way of working across diverse sources from multiple repositories, collecting small scraps of evidence about subordinated individuals, reconstructing social relationships, and stitching together patterns of daily life that aren’t visible otherwise. Archival patchwork accomm…

From Mermaids to Menocchio
Encounters Old and New in World History
This volume responds to provocations that Jerry Bentley tendered in his scholarship and through his professional activities. The collection interrogates the institutional settings, disciplinary proclivities, methodological choices, and diverse source bases of world history research and teaching. Several essays in the book address the ways in which present-day concerns influence historical research on local and global scales. Other essays pay part…
Encounters Old and New in World History
This collection of essays asserts the specific value of world history research and teaching, showing how the field contributes to the larger historical profession and offering concrete suggestions to develop more interaction between the academy and the public. The twelve contributors, each with their own academic areas of interest, are experienced scholars and classroom teachers. Uniting them together in this volume is their professional relation…
New World History
Meghan Healy-Clancy and Jason Hickel, editors. Ekhaya
In the same week that I received Ekhaya: The Politics of Home in KwaZulu-Natal to review, I noticed for the first time an ad in the Economist. An international bank, presumably seeking to lure additional clients, describes its role financing affordable housing for “rising middle class families” in South Africa. One of the colorful photos shows what looks like a government-sponsored housing development, something many South Africans have been clam…
Global context, local objects, and cultural frontiers
Contested cultural spaces characteristic of colonial South Africa persisted through the twentieth century. Material evidence of cross-cultural encounters in South Africa reveals the long-term viability and productive elasticity of the concept of frontier as a space of cross-cultural encounter. An analysis of four objects that date from the eighteenth to the twentieth century demonstrates the significance of African and Asian agency, even in settl…
The Pre-Industrial Cape in the Twenty-First Century
This special issue of the South African Historical Journal reflects on the state of the field of pre-industrial history at the Cape of Good Hope. It is an opportunity to look back on the previous decade of research, identify accomplishments, and chart future directions. We note a significant historiographical shift from research that focused broadly on colonised peoples, particularly slaves and Khoesan, to emerging literatures that give equally c…
Belonging
From Marx's articulation of a gendered division of labour to recent work in world history, scholars have emphasised both the historical and the analytical importance of families
Sources and Methods in African History
An overview of the ongoing methods used to understand African history. Spurred in part by the ongoing re-evaluation of sources and methods in research, African historiography in the past two decades has been characterized by the continued branching and increasing sophistication of methodologies and areas of specialization. The rate of incorporation of new sources and methods into African historical research shows no signs of slowing. This book is…
Traces in the Landscape
Land tenure was at the center of the struggle between settlers and Khoisan on the colonial frontier during the eighteenth century. Different perceptions of land claims and differing patterns of land use prevented the possibility of mutual accommodation. Although pre-colonial hunters and herders co-existed in the Cedarberg region, the introduction of competition from settler pastoralism challenged the survival of both San and Khoikhoi patterns of …
