His passing provides time for us, his family, friends and colleagues, to pause and ponder the nature of his contribution to the built environment, and especially the humanity and social concerns that he expressed in his life and work. Revel presented a remarkable fusion between an intellectual disposition towards cities and buildings and how they grow, a passionate care and concern for the people who inhabit them, a sensual delight in the art of design and creation and a concern for timelessness and what can be learned from the field of vernacular architecture. A firmly held and finely honed attitude towards architectural and urban aesthetics and history was balanced by an empathy for the social problems caused by the Apartheid City and a considered approach to the ways in which the architectural and planning professions could possibly contribute to a more humane and equitable city. Underpinning this all were qualities of integrity, care, consideration and a gentle courtesy. His legacy is marked, as Neville Dubow stressed in his tribute at the memorial service to Revel, by the pursuit of excellence.

Schmidt* Program in Social Studies Education, Teachers College, Columbia University, 525 West 120th Street, New York, NY 10027, USA (Received 18 June 2012; final version received 17 December 2012) South Africa provides a contemporary example of a nation struggling to find and cohere a national imagination that is universally agreeable. In their effort to create a sense of self based on unity across difference, South African relies on museums to produce and spread this narrative. The success of the narrative and its adoption rely on decolonizing modern concepts of race, museum, and nation that perpetuated the apartheid agenda.
