Deploying a cultural-historical method alongside the Tswaing and Mphebatho museums, this study attempts to open more and new space for exploring the making of South Africa’s history- and heritage-making. Investing both transdisciplinary fields with potentially transformative and truly decolonising qualities entrusts them with social roles necessary for indigenous society’s survival. Not only do the deployed methodologies allow an in-depth historical investigation of heritage sites, but they also warrant transcendence beyond entrenched binaries between history and heritage and colonial-sponsored temporal frames. In this way, the text explores long-held and previously little-treated indigenous concepts of history and heritage which evolved into the colonial and post-colonial eras. As locations whose heritage profiles embrace human and non-human worlds, the selected museums illustrate how a broadened eco-culture heritage interfaces with history and identity. The two museums therefore encapsulate memory, indigenous knowledge, and culture generated over time through complex or intricate linkages with landscape and nature.","PeriodicalId":41857,"journal":{"name":"African Historical Review","volume":"54 1","pages":"38 - 60"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46947380","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on archival and oral evidence from southern Malawi, it argues that colonial restriction on maize production to conserve the country’s soil fertility was an excuse by the state to achieve various economic interests. What the colonial state in Malawi wanted was to divert the Africans from the production of maize to other crops whose global market demand and value was high. This was critical during the post-depression era when settler agriculture collapsed, and even worse in the post-war period when Britain desperately required African agriculture for its economic recovery. But since maize had become their life-blood, African producers, with the support of some colonial officials who shared similar fears, could not submit to this restrictive policy. By forefronting maize production, the study sheds new light on the socio-environmental historiography which has generically attributed the implementation of colonial conservation policies in Africa to economic depression, drought, demography, the American dust bowl, colonial land policies, and local farming practices.","PeriodicalId":41857,"journal":{"name":"African Historical Review","volume":"54 1","pages":"61 - 84"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46954334","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The vaccination campaigns began after the country received some doses through the COVID-19 Vaccine Global Access Facility (COVAX). Although African indigenous medicines were critical in arresting the rapid spread of the pandemic, the article argues that the vaccine doses strengthened this global menace in the Kenyan context, but did not stop the local indigenous initiatives. In view of this, the article compares the COVID-19 pandemic with the influenza epidemic which affected Kenya in 1918 and 1919. Did history repeat itself in the pandemic that confronted Kenya in 2020–2022? Did COVID-19 find a well-prepared society that had learnt from history? The article begins by attempting to understand the nature of pandemics right from the Athenian plague of 430 BCE, which occurred during the Peloponnesian War (432–405 BCE), and conceptualises the subject by drawing from the history of global pandemics. It then compares the COVID-19 pandemic with the 1918–19 influenza pandemic and ends with an informed conclusion that is useful for future reactions towards pandemics.","PeriodicalId":41857,"journal":{"name":"African Historical Review","volume":"54 1","pages":"1 - 19"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42006694","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
