Join us at Wits University for the much awaited launch of a year long Africa is a Country Revolutionary Papers series on the archival remnants of African and black diaspora anti-colonial movement materials to retrieve a politics and pedagogy that challenge the contemporary cooptation of radical histories, and special issue of Radical History Review Revolutionary Papers: Anticolonial Periodicals from the Global South. The issue examines periodicals and other print ephemera—including newspapers, cultural and literary journals, magazines, and pamphlets—as sites of Left, anti-imperial, and anti-colonial critical production across the global south.

Nov 1, Graduate Seminar Room, South-West Engineering Building, East Campus, Wits University, Johannesburg.

RSVP: Antonette.Gouws@wits.ac.za

The event is hosted by the Wits History Workshop, and will include inputs by contributing authors, Noor Nieftagodien, Sa’eed Husaini, Nombuso Mathibela, Kebotlhale Motseothata, and Koni Benson, and a reflection by Will Shoki of Africa is a Country.
