Book discussion: "Lost Libraries, Burnt Archives"
What surfaces when a library is burnt, an archive lost? What emerges from the ashes and ruins? The recently published creative book Lost Libraries, Burnt Archives is a response to the tragic fire at the Jagger Library at the University of Cape Town in April 2021 and brought together a group of artists, poets, photographers, writers and scholars who collectively engaged with the significance of the event as well as broader questions pertaining to the loss of archives and the future of knowledge production practices for African Studies.
