Archibald Boyce Monwabisi Mafeje (30 March 1936 – 28 March 2007), commonly known as Archie Mafeje, was a South African scholar and activist. Born in the Eastern Cape, he got degrees from the University of Cape Town (UCT) and Cambridge University.[1] He became a professor at universities in Europe, the Americas, and Africa, but spent most of his career away from apartheid South Africa after he was banned from teaching at UCT.[2][1][3] Mafeje was one of many anti-apartheid activists in exile. As an important Pan-African intellectual, he studied African history and anthropology and wrote about the anti-apartheid movement.[4][5] After he died, other scholars wrote books about his work.[6][7]
