Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1954, the Haillom people were evicted from Etosha by the South African-con-trolled South West African Administration. In 2015, the Haillom filed the case of Tsumib v Government of the Republic of Namibia in the High Court of Namibia. "Beggars on our own land ..." unravels the historical and contemporary socio-legal complexities that led to the Tsumib case. At the core of the case lies the legal question, how can the Haillom people approach the Namibian Courts in order to claim compensation for the loss of their ancestral lands? Odendaal goes into detail how the Tsumib case materialised under the post-inde-pendence Namibian constitutional discourse. He assesses the Namibian land re form programme and its oversight in dealing with historical land dispossessions. He inspects Haillom "identity" and how it was used to strengthen their case. He concludes with an examination of Namibia's outdated and restrictive legal frame-work, which ultimately denied the Haillom people their constitutional right to be heard in the Namibian Court. While the future of ancestral land claims in Namibia depends on the political will of the Namibian government, Odendaal argues that the Namibian courts have a duty to comply with the rights giving nature of the Namibian Constitution that lays the foundation for the Haillom people's ancestral claims.

This book was released on 2007-01-24 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A host of internationally eminent scholars are brought together here to explore the structural causes of rural poverty and income inequality, as well as the processes of social exclusion and political subordination encountered by the peasantry and rural workers across a wide range of countries. This volume examines the intersection of politics and economics and provides a critical analysis and framework for the study of neo-liberal land policies in the current phase of globalization. Utilizing new empirical evidence from ten countries, it provides an in-depth analysis of key country studies, a comparative analysis of agrarian reforms and their impact on rural poverty in Africa, Asia, Latin America and transition countries. Presenting an agrarian reform policy embedded in an appropriate development strategy, which is able to significantly reduce and hopefully eliminate rural poverty, this work is a key resource for postgraduate students studying in the areas of development economics, development studies and international political economy.

Download or read book Developmentalism Dependency and the State written by Christopher Hope and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2020-08-17 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why does Namibia's economy look the way it does today? Was the reliance on raw materials for exports and on the service sector for employment an inevitability? And for what reasons has the manufacturing sector - the vehicle for economic development for many now-high income countries throughout the 19th and 20th centuries - seen its growth held back? With these questions in mind, this book offers an extensive analysis of industrial development and economic change in Namibia since 1900, exploring their causes, trajectory, vicissitudes, context, and politics. Its focus is particularly on the motivations behind the economic decisions of the state, arguing that power relations - both internationally and domestically - have held firm a status quo that has resisted efforts towards profound economic change. This work is the first in-depth economic study covering both the colonial and independence eras of Namibia's history and provides the first history of the country's manufacturing sector.

This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On ‘Shoot the Boer’, hate speech and the banning of struggle songs - PULP FICTIONS No.6 Edited by Karin van Marle 2010 ISSN: 1992-5174 Pages: 23 Print version: Available Electronic version: Free PDF available About the publication In the two contributions to this volume we find the following passages: ‘Whether one is an upper-middle class Afrikaner or a poor black rural woman whether one is a black small business entrepreneur or a poor white car guard, an obsession with hate speech will not do us any good.’ (De Vos) ‘The protection of these values is not sub-ordinate to the problems of unemployment corruption, poverty and discrimination. On the contrary, those problems can only be tackled if these values are upheld and developed.’ (Spies) David Scott in Conscripts of modernity: The tragedy of colonial enlightenment (2004) investigates how colonial struggles are told in history. He observes how often what happened in the past is told to serve present day priorities. CLR James’s account of the Haitian Revolution of 1791-1804 in his work, The Black Jacobins, is one example of a text written in a time when decolonization was a future possibility. This work is described by Scott as a work of anti-colonial longing. Scott’s argument is that we should move away from anti-colonial longing in order to start thinking of other kinds of problems and other kinds of questions. James, in a revised edition of The Black Jacobins published in 1963, recast the initial narrative from one of romance to one of tragedy. In a post-apartheid South-Africa we are constantly being haunted by our apartheid and colonial past. How we respond to, but even before responding, how we understand the many challenges we face today — ongoing poverty, crime, corruption, equality, dignity, freedom of speech — may depend on how we relate to past, present and future, and specifically how we frame the stories of the struggle against colonialism and against apartheid. Becoming post-colonial (post-apartheid) requires new angles, new starting points. It might be fruitful to study the actions and speech of Julius Malema in light of Scott’s observations. In other words we could reflect on the extent to which Malema remains in an anti-colonial struggle engulfed by Romanticism and is therefore not engaged in a postcolonial struggle, and accordingly fails to engage in a ‘politics for a possible future’. (Scott (2004)) In this edition of Pulp fictions, Pierre De Vos takes another angle on the issue of Julius Malema’s singing of struggle songs and his statements concerning victims of rape. De Vos argues for us not to be blinded by debates on freedom of speech / hate speech, if the real issue is a political struggle for socio-economic transformation. For De Vos, ‘poverty, corruption, discrimination and a lack of service delivery are far more important issues that need to be faced head on.’ Willie Spies in response to De Vos argues for ‘a change of our mindset’ and that such a change is not contrary to socioeconomic reform but rather tightly connected to it.

Download or read book Women s Lives around the World written by Susan M. Shaw and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2018-01-04 with total page 2425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing an in-depth look at the lives of women and girls in approximately 150 countries, this multivolume reference set offers readers transnational and postcolonial analysis of the many issues that are critical to the success of women and girls. For millennia, women around the world have shouldered the responsibility of caring for their families. But in recent decades, women have emerged as a major part of the global workforce, balancing careers and family life. How did this change happen? And how are societies in developing countries responding and adapting to women's newer roles in society? This four-volume encyclopedia examines the lives of women around the world, with coverage that includes the education of girls and teens; the key roles women play in their families, careers, religions, and cultures; how issues for women intersect with colonialism, transnationalism, feminism, and established norms of power and control. Organized geographically, each volume presents detailed entries about the lives of women in particular countries. Additionally, each volume offers sidebars that spotlight topics related to women and girls in specific regions or focus on individual women's lives and contributions. Primary source documents include sections of countries' constitutions that are relevant to women and girls, United Nations resolutions and national resolutions regarding women and girls, and religious statements and proclamations about women and girls. The organization of the set enables readers to take an in-depth look at individual countries as well as to make comparisons across countries.

Download or read book The Ju hoan San of Nyae Nyae and Namibian Independence written by Megan Biesele and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2010-11-01 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ju/’hoan San, or Ju/’hoansi, of Namibia and Botswana are perhaps the most fully described indigenous people in all of anthropology. This is the story of how this group of former hunter-gatherers, speaking an exotic click language, formed a grassroots movement that led them to become a dynamic part of the new nation that grew from the ashes of apartheid South West Africa. While coverage of this group in the writings of Richard Lee, Lorna Marshall, Elizabeth Marshall Thomas, and films by John Marshall includes extensive information on their traditional ways of life, this book continues the story as it has unfolded since 1990. Peopled with accounts of and from contemporary Ju>/’hoan people, the book gives newly-literate Ju/’hoansi the chance to address the world with their own voices. In doing so, the images and myths of the Ju/’hoan and other San (previously called “Bushmen”) as either noble savages or helpless victims are discredited. This important book demonstrates the responsiveness of current anthropological advocacy to the aspirations of one of the best-known indigenous societies.
