Additional Information

The peoples of Namibia have been on the move throughout history. The South Africans in 1915 took over from the Germans in trying to fit Namibia into a colonial landscape. This book is about the clashes and stresses which resulted from the first three decades of South African colonial rule.Namibia under South African Rule is a major contribution to Namibian historiography, exploring, in particular, many new themes in twentieth-century Namibian history. Here is exciting new work from a host of scholars and writers on a heretofore under-researched subject.

The book Namibia Under South African Rule: Mobility & Containment, 1915-46 explores the clashes and stresses resulting from determined efforts at containment during the first three decades of South African colonial rule. The peoples of Namibia have a long history of mobility, and when the South Africans took over from the Germans in 1915, they attempted to fit the indigenous population into a colonial landscape. This volume delves into the complexities of this period, examining how the colonial state demarcated, dominated, and defined the geographic space while simultaneously intervening in social and cultural matters.
