Kronos: Southern African Histories 44

KRONOS 44 Cover

The CHR is excited to announce Missing and Missed: Subject, Politics, Memorialisation, a special issue of Kronos: Southern African Histories. This journal issue is the product of an ongoing partnership between the Jackman Humanities Institute at the University of Toronto and the Centre for Humanities Research. It also emerges out of the 2018 African Critical Inquiry Programme Workshop part of a longstanding partnership between Emory University and the CHR. It is edited by Nicky Rousseau, Riedwaan Moosage and Ciraj Rassool, and features work from colleagues both at UWC and at partner institutions.

Kronos features innovative historical and inter-disciplinary scholarship about southern Africa and beyond. Through its emphasis on thematic and Special Issues, it highlights new debates and research directions in the humanities. Kronos combines a rigorous commitment to high quality scholarship with a longstanding interest in integrating visual and textual sources. It is an accredited open access journal published annually by the Department of History and the Centre for Humanities Research at the University of the Western Cape.
