Abstract
Jeremy Silvester died on 5 July 2021, aged 58, following a struggle with Covid19. In the 1980s, while a doctoral student at the School of Oriental and African Studies, he was also a member of the London-based Namibia Support Committee. In 1994, he completed his Ph.D. on the history of land dispossession and labour recruitment in southern Namibia under South African colonialism. He subsequently became an academic at the University of Namibia in the 1990s, and thereafter director of the Museums Association of Namibia. In these capacities he supervised a number of students who subsequently occupied influential positions in the educational and heritage sectors; and he was also involved in the establishment of a number of new museums and archives. To commemorate his life, we convened a roundtable of his peers to reflect on his legacy as an academic and an activist in these various spheres.
期刊介绍：
Over the past 40 years, the South African Historical Journal has become renowned and internationally regarded as a premier history journal published in South Africa, promoting significant historical scholarship on the country as well as the southern African region. The journal, which is linked to the Southern African Historical Society, has provided a high-quality medium for original thinking about South African history and has thus shaped - and continues to contribute towards defining - the historiography of the region.
