Description: Imagining the Post-Apartheid StateAn Ethnographic Account of Namibia Author(s): John T. Friedman Format: Paperback Publisher: Berghahn Books, United Kingdom Imprint: Berghahn Books ISBN-13: 9781782383239, 978-1782383239 Synopsis In northwest Namibia, people's political imagination offers a powerful insight into the post-apartheid state. Based on extensive anthropological fieldwork, this book focuses on the former South African apartheid regime and the present democratic government; it compares the perceptions and practices of state and customary forms of judicial administration, reflects upon the historical trajectory of a chieftaincy dispute in relation to the rooting of state power and examines everyday forms of belonging in the independent Namibian State. By elucidating the State through a focus on the social, historical and cultural processes that help constitute it, this study helps chart new territory for anthropology, and it contributes an ethnographic perspective to a wider set of interdisciplinary debates on the State and state processes.
