Remembering anti-colonial struggles: The politics of memory, culture and national identity in postcolonial Namibia

Against the background of memory activism and decolonial movements in Southern Africa, much discussed since the South African #RhodesMustFall movement in 2015, this project traces the complex transfigurations of anti-colonial struggle memory, culture, and citizenship in postcolonial Namibia from the late 1990s through to the early 2020s.

The “social work” of work: Gendered dependencies of rural livelihoods in southern Africa

While policy-makers and international development practitioners in southern Africa put a great weight on supporting job creation given several decades of jobless growth in the region, there is less attention on how women and men are both differentially situated in labour relations and how they differentially make claims on resources that come from work activities through, for example, idioms of kinship, family, patronage, or friendship.
