Notes
1. These were the new edition of Shubin’s ANC: A View from Moscow (Citation2008a) and Suttner’s The ANC Underground in South Africa (Citation2008).
2. Despite, say, the efforts of the South African History Archive, based at the University of the Witwatersrand, to obtain material under the Promotion of Access to Information Act, much material remained inaccessible to scholars, including the entire archive of South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission, housed at the National Archives in Pretoria.
3. Reinhold Kössler, who participated in the UCT workshop, has published on two communities in southern Namibia, but not on the south as a whole (see Kössler Citation2006).
4. For an article related to the one published here, see Macmillan (Citation2008).
5. Perhaps the fullest study is A. Lissoni’s ‘The South African Liberation Movements in Exile, c. 1945‐1970’ (Citation2008).
6. For an early example of such work, see Richard Werbner’s (Citation1998) chapter on Heroes Acre in Zimbabwe.
7. One of the closest approximations to this is Shubin’s The Hot ‘Cold War: The USSR in Southern Africa (Citation2008b), which, as its subtitle indicates, treats only the role of the Soviet Union in southern Africa.
8. The study of the archive of the liberation struggles in the region, and its history and its limitations, is to be a sub‐theme of the National Research Foundation (NRF) Chair in Archives and Public Culture at the University of Cape Town.
