Abstract

The article in the South African Museums Association Bulletin pays tribute to Henry Charles (Jatti) Bredekamp, known as the 'Father of Khoisan Revivalism,' who passed away in 2023. Bredekamp, a historian of color, played a pivotal role in reviving indigenous identity in post-apartheid South Africa. His work focused on Khoisan history and culture, challenging the academic norms of his time. Despite his concerns about the commercialization of Khoisan heritage, Bredekamp's legacy continues to influence grassroots movements and academia, leaving a lasting impact on South Africa's heritage landscape.
