The post-apartheid era in South Africa has, in the space of nearly
two decades, experienced a massive memory boom, manifest in a
plethora of new memorials and museums and in the renaming of
streets, buildings, cities and more across the country. This
memorialisation is intricately linked to questions of power,
liberation and public history in the making and remaking of the
South African nation. Ali Khangela Hlongwane and Sifiso Mxolisi
Ndlovu analyse an array of these liberation heritage sites,
including the Hector Pieterson Memorial and Museum, the June 16,
1976 Interpretation Centre, the Apartheid Museum and the Mandela
House Museum, foregrounding the work of migrant workers,
architects, visual artists and activists in the practice of
memorialisation. As they argue, memorialisation has been integral
to the process of state and nation formation from the pre-colonial
era through the present day.
