As historians, social scientists and intellectuals embedded in the humanities, a part of the job we have awarded ourselves or that we assume to be part of our disciplinary reasoning, our intellectual orbit, is to bring to life the periods that, and the people about whom, we reflect. This we do through writing and telling stories, often constructed with a “moral message” of sorts. In these acts of writing and story-telling, objectivity plays a disputed and a precarious role, and misrepresentations could be conscious or unwitting. The lack of objectivity in bringing to life the period and the people we talk about in our stories, in our exaggeration and our understatement about what we have read, about what we have heard, and then about what we write, is part of an academic’s narrative. These human traits of exaggeration and understatement can lead to historical error. In this early exploration of seeking answers to the questions, “Who is Neville Alexander?” and “What can we learn from his writings?” I offer two anecdotes about the man. My proposition is that overcoming historical error does not rest exclusively with factual verification. It has to factor in an appraisal of the ideological intention or even political wish of the people telling the stories, in written texts and orally, and of the interlocutors’ context that we recover in our historical studies. In writing this preliminary sketch of Alexander, I take a detour into higher education issues, particularly the field of doctoral studies, and I paraphrase some of the concerns that have been raised by Alexander. I conclude this introductory study with some thoughts on Alexander’s contributions to social change, to “race,” and to language policy and multilingualism.","PeriodicalId":41857,"journal":{"name":"African Historical Review","volume":"49 1","pages":"27 - 45"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17532523.2017.1352177","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46440592","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}

It provides useful background information, equally beneficial for students and the general public interested in learning more about aspects of South African and African history. Most of the series has provided biographical and historical narratives of the anti-apartheid movement but also of pre-apartheid events and history. Colin Bundy’s contribution to this series moves away from this tradition by focusing on South Africa since the end of apartheid.1 This time, Bundy endeavours to uncover just one, but arguably the most discordant, aspect of contemporary South Africa, entitling his piece Poverty in South Africa, Past and Present. Bob Marley perfectly captured the feeling of poor people when he sang “A hungry mob is an angry mob; A hungry man is an angry man.”2 These lyrics continue to be relevant throughout the world and contemporary South Africa. Anger has raged particularly since the ascendency of President Jacob Zuma, but this “rebellion of the poor” has been brewing since the beginning of the new millennium.3 Underlying this frustration has been the realisation of the working class, the unemployed and unemployable poor people that their poverty has not substantially lessened since the end of apartheid. South Africa’s Gini coefficient suggests that since the new millennium it has been “one of","PeriodicalId":41857,"journal":{"name":"African Historical Review","volume":"49 1","pages":"111 - 113"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17532523.2017.1327482","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44483703","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}

Despite substantial medical advances from the 1890s onwards, and the continuing colonial narrative of European medical power and superiority, white settlers in the tropics were viewed as profoundly vulnerable throughout the early twentieth century. Tropical hygiene advice and equipment developed in response, with every aspect of daily life commented upon by experts in guidebooks and medical advice books. This article explores how white settlers in British East and South-Central Africa, primarily Kenya and Rhodesia, negotiated and adapted the highly prescriptive body management recommendations found in the advice literature. It considers three strands of advice: dress, ‘sanitary segregation’, and ‘moral’ matters (including alcohol consumption, sexual behaviour, personal hygiene, and mental wellbeing). It argues that settlers did not simply replicate professional advice, and that, although influenced by recommended hygienic measures, they managed their bodies in far more dynamic and variable ways, adapting advice to produce individualised body management regimes.","PeriodicalId":41857,"journal":{"name":"African Historical Review","volume":"48 1","pages":"68 - 91"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17532523.2016.1281875","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60241754","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}
