This article engages with discourses of public memory and heritage as constituted by the biography of David Livingstone to understand how the past is instrumentalised in present-day Malawi and Scotland. It discusses how in Malawi and Scotland, Livingstone’s memory has influenced, and continues to influence, the making of bilateral relations between these two nations. Drawing on archival and documentary sources, interviews and exhibition analysis the article argues that the memory and mythology of David Livingstone have been preserved and reconstructed to enhance international co-operation between the two nations in what could be understood as ‘heritage diplomacy’. This heritage diplomacy makes claims to a mutual relationship that spans from Livingstone’s arrival on Malawian territory through the colonial period and into the post-colonial present. Moreover, this heritage diplomacy functions to create and strengthen strategic bilateral economic, cultural and political ties. At the same time, it promotes and solidifies Scotland’s national identity and its aspirations to sovereignty, autonomy and to the status of a global player. Commemorations, memorials, museum exhibitions, state institutions and civil organisations have become the main sites through which Livingstone’s memory is invoked or reconstructed as a shared heritage to facilitate international co-operation. The article contributes to our understanding of how heritage diplomacy is mobilised by nations to reinforce relations and promote their interests.

An African ploughing his fields in western Mpondoland in 1910 uncovered two elephant tusks at the site of what had once been King Faku’s homestead. This obscure incident in the Transkeian Territories of South Africa provides an entry point to examining the consolidation of colonial bureaucratic control, and African responses to it, in the second decade of the 20th century by the Union of South Africa government. The unearthing of the tusks illuminated, on the one hand, Mpondo attempts to control the relics of Faku, and the memories associated with them, and to reassert traditional authority over the allocation of land; and on the other, efforts by the colonial administration of the Transkei to tighten control over land and strengthen ‘native affairs’ administration. In the process it explores how differing approaches to dealing with the government and contestations for power within Mpondo society impacted on their relations with the colonial state.

The relationship between agency, resistance and power remains central to academic and political debates on the position and role of Africans and Africa on the local and global stage. In recent years, historical and contemporary analyses have devoted great attention to this complex relationship. This emerging scholarship has become more attentive to the necessity for more nuanced analysis of the ways in which African citizens, their leaders and their institutions contribute, and have contributed in the past, to wider socio-economic and political transformations at both local and global level. By focusing on both individual and institutional agency, the first four articles in this issue offer finely grained accounts of the relationship between agency, resistance, and power in different southern African countries. In South Africa, the history of the consolidation of colonial bureaucratic control and African responses to it continues to be an important entry point to understand the relationship between colonial power and colonial subjects and its contemporary legacies, especially in relation to traditional rule, culture and custom. In the first article in this issue, ‘Faku’s Tusks: Colonialism, Resistance and Accommodation in Early Twentieth Century South Africa’, Denver Webb demonstrates how the colonial government’s attempts to consolidate power through their own interpretation of culture and customary law was countered by Mpondo leader efforts to reassert their authority through their own countervailing arguments on what constituted culture and custom. Webb does this by showing how the leadership of Mpondo in early-20th century-Transkei was punctuated by complex strategies of negotiation, resistance, compromise, acquiescence and assertion of cultural identities. The article admirably shows how the differing approaches to dealing with colonial government and contestations for power within Mpondo society impacted on Mpondo relations with the colonial state. The theme of agency, power and resistance in colonial South Africa is also central to the next paper in this special issue. In the article, ‘“If you belong to my generation and you never read James Hadley Chase, then you are not educated”: Everyday Reading of High School Students in Soweto, 1968–1976’, Kasonde Thomas Mukonde demonstrates the ways in which literature was central to the experience of Soweto’s students and their emergence in the public sphere as political actors. In drawing from extensive interviews with student activists from the 1960s and 1970s, Mukonde underlines how their reading became central to the making of a youth political consciousness in South African schools. This article shows how, despite its repressive nature, Apartheid education unwittingly allowed for the emergence of spaces of subversion and resistance which African students and teachers exploited to their own advantage. Ultimately, as the author poetically concludes, ‘when put to use the imaginations of young peo
