This volume critically examines sources of evidence and material from the archive that historically have been used to tell southern Africa’s pre-colonial story.Archives of Times Past explores particular sources of evidence on southern Africa’s time before the colonial era. It gathers recent ideas about archives and archiving from scholars in southern Africa and elsewhere, focusing on the question: ‘How do we know, or think we know, what happened in the times before European colonialism?’ The essays by well-known historians, archaeologists and researchers engage these questions from a range of perspectives and in illuminating ways. Written from personal experience, they capture how these experts encountered their archives of knowledge beyond the textbook. The essays are written at a time when public discussion about the history of southern Africa before the colonial era is taking place more openly than at any other time in the last hundred years They will appeal to students, academics, educationists, teachers, archivists, and heritage, museum practitioners and the general public.List of Illustrations Acknowledgements Editorial Note Map Part I First Thoughts about the Archive Chapter 1 Exploring the Archive of the Times before Colonialism — Cynthia Kros, John Wright, Mbongiseni Buthelezi and Helen Ludlow Chapter 2 A Young Woman’s Journey of Discovery — Cynthia Kros and John Wright Chapter 3 Where Are the Deep Conversations about the Past? — Cynthia Kros and John Wright Chapter 4 ‘Ask the Old People’; ‘Ask the Professors’ — Cynthia Kros and John Wright Part II Commentaries and Conversations Chapter 5 Notes on a Kholwa Writer’s Life: Magema Fuze — Hlonipha Mokoena Chapter 6 An Archive in an Old Tin Trunk — Rachel King Chapter 7 Making ‘Tribal Histories’: The Work of Paul-Lenert Breutz — Fred Morton and Jan Boeyens Chapter 8 Conversations with Sekibakiba Lekgoathi — Sekibakiba Lekgoathi, Cynthia Kros and John Wright Chapter 9 Unpacking Olden Times — John Wright Part III Becoming Explorers Chapter 10 From ‘Nature Study’ to ‘Nature’s Archives’: My Journey into Environmental History — Muchaparara Musemwa Chapter 11 Nervously Entering the World of Carl Hoffmann and His Interlocutors — Lize Kriel Chapter 12 Dreams and Destinies: Stepping into the World of Archaeology — Ndukuyakhe Ndlovu Chapter 13 Life with the James Stuart Archive — John Wright Part IV Engaging with Archaeology and Rock Art Chapter 14 Digging Historic Cave: An Archaeological and Historical Quest — Amanda Esterhuysen Chapter 15 Storm Shelter: Rediscovering an Archive of Rock Art — Geoffrey Blundell Chapter 16 A Lion’s Life: Tracking the Biography of an Archaeological Artefact — Justine Wintjes Part V Conflicting Opinions Chapter 17 A Neglected Archive – and an Academic Pact — Sifiso Mxolisi Ndlovu Chapter 18 Mapungubwe Imagined — Himal Ramji Chapter 19 Mkhize Historians Dispute the Past — Grant McNulty Part VI Further Thoughts Chapter 20 Making Journeys into the Archive — Cynthia Kros Chapter 21 The Archive in Pictures: Visual Essay — Justine Wintjes Glossary Contributors Index

This much-awaited volume uncovers the long-lost pages of the major African multilingual newspaper, Abantu-Batho. Founded in 1912 by African National Congress (ANC) convenor Pixley Seme, with assistance from the Swazi Queen, it was published up until 1931, attracting the cream of African politicians, journalists and poets Mqhayi, Nontsisi Mgqweth, and Grendon. In its pages burning issues of the day were articulated alongside cultural by-ways. The People’s Paper – comprising both essays and an anthology – explores the complex movements and individuals that emerged in the almost twenty years of its publication. The essays contribute rich, new material to provide clearer insights into South African politics and intellectual life. The anthology unveils a judicious selection of never-before published columns from the paper spanning every year of its life and drawn from repositories on three continents. Abantu-Batho had a regional and international focus, and by examining all these dynamics across boundaries and disciplines, The People’s Paper transcends established historiographical frontiers to fill a lacuna that scholars have long lamented.Introduction: A Centenary History of Abantu-Batho, the People’s Paper Peter Limb Chapter 1 ‘Only the Bolder Spirits’: Politics, Racism, Solidarity and War in Abantu-Batho Peter Limb Chapter 2 ‘They Must Go to the Bantu Batho’: Economics and Education, Religion and Gender, Love and Leisure in the People’s Paper Peter Limb Chapter 3 Pixley Seme and Abantu-Batho Chris Saunders Chapter 4 Queen Labotsibeni and Abantu-Batho Sarah Mkhonza Chapter 5 ‘We of Abantu Batho’: Robert Grendon’s Brief and Controversial Editorship Grant Christison Chapter 6 The Swazi Royalty and the Founding of Abantu-Batho in a Regional Context 174 Chris Lowe Chapter 7 Abantu-Batho and the Xhosa Poets 201 Jeff Opland Chapter 8 African Royalty, Popular History and Abantu-Batho Sifiso Mxolisi Ndlovu and Peter Limb Chapter 9 ‘Johannesburg in Flames’: The 1918 Shilling Campaign, Abantu-Batho and Early African Nationalism in South Africa Paul Landau Chapter 10 Garveyism, Abantu-Batho and the Radicalisation of the African National Congress during the 1920s Robert Trent Vinson Chapter 11 An African Newspaper in Central Johannesburg: The Journalistic and Associational Context of Abantu-Batho Peter Limb Conclusion Assessing the Decline and Legacy of Abantu-Batho Peter Limb
