This book is a seminal work on the genre of life writing, or non-fiction writing that adds critical and theoretical perspectives on engaging with contemporary South African literature. Questions of re-presentation, memory and memorialisation, and ways to theorise literary non-fiction are at the core of the discussion in this work. The carefully selected case studies from biography, literary journalism and reportage, oral history, emerging autobiographical reflections on the Truth and Reconciliation narrative, as well as political and personal testimonies provide a fresh lens on how to work with phenomenological forms of archiving history within a context that is itself in a process of self-reflection and socio-political transition. The work is a courteous gesture to a phenomenological appreciation of “truth” as reflected in contemporary narrative non-fiction from South Africa.","PeriodicalId":41857,"journal":{"name":"African Historical Review","volume":"51 1","pages":"73 - 76"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17532523.2020.1720141","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48189341","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 is in the format of Jan Vansina’s Living with Africa (University of Wisconsin Press, 1994) and a similar farewell work by Roland Anthony Oliver (In the Realms of Gold: Pioneering in African History, Routledge, 1997). Carruthers is a pioneer in historical research on ecology in the same way that Vansina and Oliver founded academic African history in the 1950s. I would title Carruthers’s book “Living with History and the Science of National Parks.” From the time I met the author in the 1990s and bought her major work on the Kruger National Park, I have always been aware of her unique scholarship. The book with its listing of some of her publications (pp. 470–472) is a rare library of unimaginable value. Here is a book that brings out connections of history with other branches of knowledge. There is a lot for the specialist and the uninitiated alike here. This is a book with unlimited usefulness; I shall demonstrate this with two examples.","PeriodicalId":41857,"journal":{"name":"African Historical Review","volume":"51 1","pages":"32 - 33"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17532523.2020.1720356","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47754271","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}

An overarching theme of the book is that, while it is predominantly about the history of the water hyacinth’s transfer to many parts of Africa, it at the same time constantly interrogates the varying implications of what the plant means to different people at different times in terms of whether it is a dangerous or life-threatening weed, a herb, a flower of ornamental value, or a flower of life. For Kitunda, the hyacinth has gone through a transformation over time, from an ornamental plant to a vexatious pest (p. 6). In this sense, his work is a significant and refreshing exploration of the interaction between humanity and the natural environment. Although it is true that hyacinth evolved from a mere object of beauty to an insidious weed responsible for choking many of Africa’s waterways, a positive that can be drawn from it is that it has challenged people to find ways to either control or utilise it (profitably), thus bringing it back into the fold as a human ally according to Heather J.

By the 1830s “Bushmanland” had become turbulent too, due to the passage of more Thembu groups into the territory, the eastward and southward colonial advances by the British and the Boers, and the clashes between the newcomers and the “Khoesan” groups inhabiting the territory. From the 1830s to the 1880s, the amaTshatshu were embroiled in the bloody conflicts of the eastern frontier, and were severely weakened by land dispossessions, the cattle-killing movement between 1856 and 1857, and colonial imposition.","PeriodicalId":41857,"journal":{"name":"African Historical Review","volume":"51 1","pages":"42 - 44"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17532523.2019.1705605","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47603823","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}

Copious material has been produced that examines the various aspects of the epidemic on the African continent. The sheer volume of publications is not surprising considering the breadth of the population affected by the epidemic and the impact of the epidemic on families, communities, and nations. Millions of dollars have been poured into African countries by Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) targeting individuals and groups affected by the epidemic. AIDS orphans are one of the groups targeted by NGOs as part of their developmental and humanitarian agenda. In Crying for Our Elders: African Orphanhood in the Age of HIV and AIDS, Kristen E. Cheney situates the position of orphans and vulnerable children and policies directed at them (orphans) within the developmental discourse. Cheney argues that orphans and vulnerable children are constructed categories that are created and deployed by developmental and humanitarian organisations that sometimes elide the social context which has a greater impact on the lived experiences of these children (p. 3). According to Cheney, international organisations focus on one aspect—orphanhood—failing to fully appreciate other circumstances that affect children’s lives such as their social and political circumstances.","PeriodicalId":41857,"journal":{"name":"African Historical Review","volume":"51 1","pages":"45 - 48"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17532523.2020.1720152","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43852308","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}
