Book excerpt: This is one of the more sophisticated analyses of a rapidly-growing genre and, because produced at Namibia's main external research centre, likely to be the most influential with Namibian economic planners. The discussion is equally balanced between the structure and trends in present-day agriculture and policy-options for long-term development. The first part of the study is devoted to natural environment and ecology, as well as the present economic and institutional structures (land distribution, ownership, income, numbers and skills of workers, marketing, transport, training and research facilities). The author's agronomic expertise is evident, and the documentary evidence has been reinforced by the direct experience of rural Namibians. In the second half, a thoughtful structural analysis of economic exploitation, constraints and development priorities leads to an extended appraisal of alternative forms of land tenure and production organization - freehold, communal, tenancy from the state, cooperative, collective, state farms - with a broad survey of comparative African experience. Both the political goals of the liberation movement and the political and economic realities of post-independence Namibia are closely integrated into the discussion. A final brief chapter assesses a number of policy issues common to all variants of agrarian reform. (Eriksen/Moorsom 1989).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Securing land rights takes up themes at the centre of socio-political debates throughout the African continent. These relate to national struggles over access to land, land distribution, land rights and security of tenure. Land in much of rural Africa is communally held, a system that provides security of livelihood and a social safety net, but is not immune to appropriation by government or injustices such as the eviction of women from the land on the death of their husbands. This book contextualises Namibia within these debates, highlighting the country's stance in relation to communal land tenure reforms with a focus on the realities of people's lives in north-central Namibia. Leading questions centre on competing ways of ascribing value to land; mechanisms and monetisation of access to land; commercialisation of land use, de-agrarianization and ongoing transformation underpinned by economic and territorial restructuring. These processes have direct impacts on equity in access to land and land distribution, and engender competing visions of land rights. Communal land reform is an uneasy compromise between different processes and interests.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the Second World war, South Africa claimed that the League of Nations mandate to administer Namibia had lapsed with the dissolution of that organization, and that it was within its power to annex it. It rejected UN efforts to have the territory placed under its trusteeship. This marked the beginning of the intractable dispute over the international status and independence of Namibia. This book analyses the role of the international community through the UN and other organizations in the search for a settlement. It gives attention to the efforts of the Western Contact Group and the people of Namibia themselves, and shows how conditions for a settlement ultimately emerged. Finally, it outlines Namibia's major post-independence challenges.

This book was released on 2022-02-12 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the impact of neoliberalism on peasant agriculture as a key livelihood strategy in Southern and Eastern Africa, against the background of the current development crisis and the crossroads that Southern and Eastern Africa faces. It systematically analyses how the neoliberal architecture has deepened extroverted production for capitalist accumulation and how this has been to the detriment of the rural labour force and small scale and communal landowners. Apart from examining how neoliberalism has triggered land alienations, the book further argues that such policies have also impacted negatively on food security in a number of ways. The book presents empirical evidence through twelve case studies, emerging from in-depth original fieldwork carried out in seven countries in the Southern and Eastern African region. This book is a must-read for scholars of economics,sociology, anthropology, history, agrarian studies and political science, as well as practitioners and policy-makers, interested in a better understanding of the impact of the agrarian neoliberal restructuring on the peasantry in Southern Africa.

Book excerpt: This is the first sectoral study in CIIR's series of booklets on the economic problems of the transition to independence in Namibia, condensed from a much longer and more empirically detailed original draft. It is one of the most solidly researched of the recent development studies, drawing on a wide range of secondary sources in Afrikaans and German as well as English. It also benefits from the author's previous historical work, especially on rural class formation and labour migration (see nos. 56, 664, 667). Background is provided by short chapters on the "agriculture of theft": a residual peasantry and capitalist settler farmers locked together by the migrant labour system. A central chapter analyses the exploitation and crisisridden nature of present-day agriculture. The final chapter assesses both the short- and long-term possibilities for agricultural development, setting SWAPO's commitment to social ownership and equality in the likely context of post-independence Namibia. It states the case for radical and early transformation, arguing inter alia that collapse in the ranch sector can only be avoided through social ownership, of which producer cooperatives may be the most desirable form, that the technical scope for a large expansion of the area of peasant cultivation in the north is considerable and that popular participation is vital to success as well as social justice. In each chapter the disadvantaged position of women, sidelined in much of the literature, is integrated into the analysis. There is also a full bibliography and a wide range of tables. (Eriksen/Moorsom 1989).
