Gender and Colonialism. a History of Kaoko in North-Western Namibia 1870s-1950s

Lorena Rizzo, with introduction by Patricia Hayes

Basler Afrika Bibliographien, 2012

This book deals with colonialism on a Namibian periphery and considers both the German colonial period as well as South African rule in the country. The marginality of the Kaoko region within this colonial topography of power is analysed as a dynamic and fractured feature where power relations and constellations remained highly contested. The dynamics of gender within a regional society constituted of men and women, African and European, receive special attention within frameworks engaging with colonial photography, oral histories and gendered visions.

"Pulse is a time-lapse film that speaks about radical acts of transformation through fire and ritual performativity. It depicts the burning to ashes of a defunct handmade beehive while a restorative soundtrack conjures the bees back to life."

Kim Gurney, Next Generation Researcher at the CHR, presents an installation as part of Freespace at the Zeitz MOCAA on Saturday, 9 February. Gurney will also be part of Places of Remembrance, a panel discussion on 'how the notion of memory and heritage can be celebrated in contemporary place making'. Read more here: ow.ly/kVSY50kM8ot

A tax revolt may be closer than Zille's critics realise
