Read Dr Daniel Feather’s @DanielJFeather blog on researching his latest article: history.org.uk/higher-ed/reso…

@DanielJFeather Thank you @DanielJFeather. A great article that we very much enjoyed reading.

Also worth adding that the team at @HisJournalHA were great to work with and the peer review process very swift. Something which is becoming increasingly rare these days

Very pleased that my latest article, which examines Britain’s relationship with the KaNgwane Bantustan in the 1980s & 90s, has been published in @HisJournalHA
