History of the Self: Smell and Memory
Christina Kim
Ernestine's smell-triggered memory was layered, complex. It was happy, it was sad. It was both a window into a childhood memory and a whole country's history. And at its core, it was an act of resistance. Because at the same time that Ernestine's family was making tamaleke, the brutal system of apartheid was literally obliterating her sense of smell.
