description: A project manager for the Nelson Mandela Centre of Memory, Harris has been a central figure in South Africa's post-apartheid archival transformation effort. Here he collects 21 essays and articles pivoting on resistance to insularity, taking his own field as a case study for professional discourse in general. Among his topics are Derrida in the archive, archival descriptions as narrating records and constructing meanings, the archive as politics, and unveiling South Africa's nuclear past.
