Abstract

Verne Harris offers a reflection on legacy and the archive through three intersecting enquiries, on: the South African tradition of ‘archives for justice’, deconstruction’s insistence that the work of archives is justice; and the legacies of Nelson Mandela and Jacques Derrida. He makes a case for an open-ended making and re-making of legacy and for a more radically transformative agenda in the work of archives in South Africa.
