This experimental database as book brings together materials from the Research Data Share (RDS) collective, inviting readers to engage with essays, annotations, and data as interconnected forms of analysis. The essays offer one pathway through the archive, while the broader project remains open to multiple interpretations and ongoing reconfiguration. You can explore a more stable, published version of the book with African Minds, and follow a broader summary of the project on the accompanying WordPress site.
