Book Description
In northwest Namibia, people’s political imagination offers a powerful insight into the post-apartheid state. Based on extensive anthropological fieldwork, this book focuses on the former South African apartheid regime and the present democratic government; it compares the perceptions and practices of state and customary forms of judicial administration, reflects upon the historical trajectory of a chieftaincy dispute in relation to the rooting of state power and examines everyday forms of belonging in the independent Namibian State. By elucidating the State through a focus on the social, historical and cultural processes that help constitute it, this study helps chart new territory for anthropology, and it contributes an ethnographic perspective to a wider set of interdisciplinary debates on the State and state processes.

Ovambo Politics in the Twentieth Century
Author: Allan D. Cooper
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
Ovambo Politics in the Twentieth Century offers a paradigm shift from how studies typically treat the colonization of Africa. Using archival documentation from government and industry sources, Cooper offers a detailed historical analysis of the seven major communities comprising the Ovambo- Namibia's largest ethnic group. His examination reveals that these Ovambo communities engaged in competitive political relations with each other throughout the German colonial era as well as the subsequent occupation of territory by the white minority government of South Africa.

The Kavango Peoples
Author: Gordon D. Gibson
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Ethnology
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
This is a synthesis of anthropological studies of the people living along the Namibian section of the Okavango River, in which the authors have supplemented their own field research with other source material. After a general introduction, consecutive chapters discuss each of the five "tribes", using the same comparative framework of presentation. Although historical change is regularly noted in passing, the essays are largely written in a timeless present, sometimes even when early sources are cited. Coverage of the peasant economy is variable, but the scattered factual detail is useful given the almost total absence of modern field studies. (Eriksen/Moorsom 1989).
