- Title
Writing history about the ties that bind: reflections.
- Authors
KRUT, RIVA
- Abstract
The author reflects on how she came to write a doctoral thesis in 1985 with a perspective different from that of mainstream South African Jewish historiography. She recalls the rise of anti-apartheid activity and activist academic work and her immersion into history writing that was anti-elite and anti-elitism. She discusses her examination of Jewish migration to Johannesburg, formation of a community, women's history and concepts of middle-class domestic feminism, philanthropy and motherhood.
