This book set out to be a history of the Eastern Cape before colonialism. Then #RhodesMustFall happened, and the editors and contributors turned to a harder question: who gets to write African history, with what sources and methods, and whether "pre-colonial" is even the right way to describe it. Essays on oral tradition, archives, language and the politics of knowledge.
