Facing The Archive: The Apartheid Archive Project by Prof. Garth Stevens and Prof. Norman Duncan
1. FACING THE ARCHIVE: NARRATIVE, MEMORY AND APARTHEID Prof. Garth Stevens & Prof. Norman Duncan University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa, 06 October 2009 Men [and women] make their own history, but they do not make it just as they please; they do not make it under circumstances chosen by them, but under circumstances directly found, given and transmitted from the past. The tradition of all the dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brain of the living (Marx, 1869/1977, p. 398).
