The general-reader companion to The Water Question. What it is actually like to spend six years in city archives: the boxes nobody has opened since 1961, the minutes that record everything except the decision, and the moment a whole argument collapses because of one filing card.
Dr Gideon Mbeki
Dr Gideon Mbeki teaches urban history and spent six years in municipal archives assembling the material for his first monograph. He published independently after two university presses admired the manuscript and declined it on length.
He credits the index with most of the book's library adoptions.
