Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Voices from the Kavango explores the contribution that the life histories and the voices of the contract labourers make to our understanding of the contract labour system in Namibia. In particular it asks: is it possible to view the migration of the Kavango labourers as a progressive step, or does the paradigm of exploitation and suppression remain the dominant one? The study highlights contract labourers engaging in a defeating activity and their disappointment with the little rewards which were non-lasting solutions to their problems. The realization of their entrapment under the contract system and the eventual frustrations led to the political mobilization for independence by SWAPO.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation examines the emergence of urban collective consciousness around labor conditions and the basic necessities of urban life in the context of South African colonialism and apartheid in South West Africa (SWA), or present-day Namibia. The major industries of both South Africa and SWA depended on the separation of categories of migrant, short-term workers and a minority of long-term workers with urban residence entitlements. But SWA's migrant labor system was distinctive because of the subordination of SWA industrial interests to those of South Africa—in particular, South Africa's mining industry—in the regional distribution of African labor, which in turn had enduring effects on African politics in SWA and the political culture of independent Namibia. While South African mines profited from an expansive zone of recruitment stretching into central Africa, South Africa limited the South West Africa Native Labor Association (SWANLA) to a labor force from SWA north of the Red Line and Angola. The solidarity of SWANLA contract workers was stronger for the relatively small recruitment area, the numerical dominance of Oshivambo-speaking people in that area, and the advantages of belonging to a group with such leverage in the industries that made SWA a viable colonial concern. The nationalist South West Africa People's Organization (SWAPO) used the strategic power of the strain of Ovambo-ness that developed out of the SWANLA contract system to advocate for Namibian independence from South Africa on the international stage. The interests and aims of Africans from the Police Zone, and even northern contract workers who did not join SWAPO's leadership in exile from the mid-1960s, differed from those of SWAPO nationalists operating on an international scale. Police Zone towns reproduced the territory-wide infrastructure of the Red Line in miniature, seeking to house northern contract workers in compounds separate from their families and Police Zone workers in family houses. But the translation of South West African apartheid to individual towns was rife with inconsistencies and contradictions stemming from differences in local economic interests and cracks in SWA's system of influx control. For much of the period of South African rule, northern contract workers channeled their work-based solidarity to eke out small concessions from their employers or to challenge the administrative and infrastructural underpinnings of the contract labor system on a local scale. Long-term urban residents and migrant workers from within the Police Zone tended to see their position as distinct from northern contract workers, and when they challenged the state they did so on the basis of the state's failure to provide basic necessities such as housing. Urban political communities emerged from the cracks in SWA's migrant labor and influx control systems but were eclipsed by SWAPO's internationally-recognized nationalism. Because of the roots of SWAPO's nationalism in the SWANLA migrant labor system, SWAPO rule perpetuated labor and ethnic categories of the colonial period that had been sanded down in Police Zone towns, at worst preserving them in their most oversimplified ethnic form. This dissertation examines the sanding down of these labor and ethnic categories in the mining town of Tsumeb and the port and fishing town of Walvis Bay.
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.
