In this seminar, Prof. Robert Ross, Institute for History, Leiden University, will reflect on his experience of editing the Cambridge History of South Africa, the second and final volume of which was published recently. He will discuss the various ways in which historians of South Africa have chosen the plot-lines they have used and thus organized their material. All are essentially politically driven, since in South Africa, history and other social sciences are the continuation of politics by other means.

The purpose of this presentation by Bram Büscher (Erasmus University) is to provide an overview of some of the contemporary ways in which Africa’s nature is being neoliberalised and to provide an indication of how this neoliberalisation is negotiated by African actors. The speaker has done extensive ethnographic fieldwork in between 2005 and 2008, namely the Maloti-Drakensberg area between Lesotho and South Africa.
